Publisher's description:

When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of The End of Mr Y in a second-hand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are rare. And, some say, cursed. With Mr Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself thrust into an adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel.
