In an alternate-reality NYC, twins Tess and Theo and neighbor Jaime hope to solve the Old York Cipher--created by the nineteenth-century inventors of the city's "mechanical wizardry"--and save their apartment building from a scheming developer. Geography, history, and steampunk-esque machines are thoroughly integrated into the thrum of a strange but recognizable city. Both mystery and sci-fi fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment.
