Lucifer Mandrake: The Esoteric Cricket Ball: Harvey Duckman Presents: A Victorian Urban Fantasy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798307356920)

Lucifer Mandrake, Arcanist to the court of St James, by appointment of Queen Victoria Saxe-Coburg, is not having his best day. Someone has been resurrecting dead peers of the realm. The House of Lords is now inhabited by the undead. Sooner or later, someone is bound to notice. Well probably. Is this just a plot to derail The Witchcraft Bill? Or is it something more insidious, such as a plan to remove Victoria as head of state and replace her with the King of Hanover?
Mandrake must brave the Fae realm and its denizens, doppelgangers, necromancy, a prison of amber, conspirators in the highest level of government, malevolent men in dark tweed, and worst of all, the cricket, in order to save the crown.
All the while Lucifer must keep a secret of his own, the secret of Luci Drake, she who dwells within.

Magic, mayhem and impeccable manners, in a Victorian world where magic is real.
