Michael Cox 
The Glass of Time: A Novel 

“Entirely wonderful . . . chock-full of revenge, romance, duplicity, concealed identities and murder most frequent.”—Washington Post

Building on his haunting, superbly written debut,
The Meaning of Night, Michael Cox returns to a story of murder, love, and revenge in Victorian England.
The Glass of Time is a vividly imagined study of seduction, betrayal, and friendship between two powerful women bound together by the past.
