THE REYKJAVIK CONUNDRUM (Clockwork Derrière 2) A favour for Oscar Wilde can sometimes lead to murder. A moral and political clamp-down in Britain follows an explosion at the clockwork derrière factory in which Darcy Mansfield’s best friend is killed. Darcy himself falls under suspicion of involvement, Prince Albert’s secret police shadowing his every movement. When Oscar Wilde is arrested by the Morals Police he asks Darcy to deliver his secret new play to friends in the British protectorate of Manhattan for copyright reasons. But not all is as it seems for when Darcy and his valet, Hodge, board the air steamship to New York, they are shadowed by Oscar’s former boyfriend, Lord Alfred Douglas who attempts to strike up a friendship. When their air steamship lands in Iceland for refueling, Darcy and Hodge discover there are more secrets to the sleepy whaling nation than is comfortable. Their new-found knowledge puts them in danger of assassination.
		The Extraordinary Victorian Clockwork Derrière In an age when even pleasure is steam-powered – a group of men is determined to stand in the way of progress. It’s a Golden Age for Britain, Victoria is on the throne, queen to more than half the world. The country’s steam-powered factories, the most modern in the world, churn out goods, including clockwork pleasure kits, for the masses, but there are rumblings of dissent against not only the impersonal lovemaking machines, but the Queen herself. Underground sex clubs spring up for the ultimate flesh-on-flesh encounter, and a group of sexual outlaws seems intent on bringing down the whole artificial edifice. They’re not to know Prince Albert’s shadowy Secret Police are on their trail. .
