    About this ebook

    Cora, a reformed (mostly) thief and code-breaker, takes jobs no one else will take along with her fellow adventurers (sometimes called heroes).

     

    When Professor Humphreys accidentally creates a monster, the rag-tag group must search his booby-trapped, riddle-infested house for the antidote.

     

    For the first time, Cora may be out of her league. Which could mean bad news for everyone.

     

    Gaslamp fantasy mixes with TV's Leverage in this story that originally appeared in Cutter's Final Cuts: Explorers, 2021.

      Of course Professor Humphrey’s laboratory was in a looming stone towered and turreted edifice at the top of a steep hill. He always did have a flair for the dramatic.

      I suppose it made sense in a way, as some of his experiments were less than strictly legal, oftentimes dangerous, and, some muttered under their breaths, not entirely sane.

      Still, he worked for the betterment of mankind, unlike
