Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, 4)
Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines, Alexia barely has time to remember she happens to be eight months pregnant.<br><br>Will Alexia manage to determine who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it is too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And what, exactly, has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?<div><br></div><div>HEARTLESS is the fourth book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.</div><div><br></div><div><b>The Parasol Protectorate</b><br><i>Soulless</i><br><i>Changeless</i><br><i>Blameless</i><br><i>Heartless</i><br><i>Timeless</i><br><br><br>For more from Gail Carriger, check out:<br><br><b>The Custard Protocol</b><br><i>Prudence</i><br><i>Imprudence</i><br><br><b>Finishing School </b>(YA)<br><i>Etiquette & Espionage</i><br><i>Curtsies & Conspiracies</i><br><i>Waistcoats & Weaponry</i><br><i>Manners & Mutiny</i></div>
