Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the opera...
Au Bonheur des Dames, Paris' latest, greatest department store, is promoting its Christmas sale with a spectacular display of life-size automata, but a series of acts of sabotage threaten to close the store permanently. Is this the work of anarchists or something more sinister?
Going undercover, Jennie Baxter, Laura de Gueran and Loveday Brooke discover more than just seemingly random acts of destruction. Shop-girls are vanishing without trace. Is there a connection to the disappearance Nathanael Drosselmeyer, a toymaker's son, who came to Paris after being diagnosed with brain fever?
Digging deeper, Loveday uncovers a conspiracy within a conspiracy, one with an uncomfortable connection to her own past, but can she unravel the threads in time to prevent Jennie from becoming the next victim?
