More about the book

Set against the backdrop of an eccentric dinner party, Ellie Dunn navigates complex family dynamics and financial desperation. Her father and fiancé join the gathering at Captain Shotover's uniquely designed home, where the aging inventor is fixated on creating a psychic ray to eliminate dynamite. Tension rises as Lady Utterword returns from Australia, only to be unrecognized by her father. With mounting financial pressures, Shotover's previous failed invention looms large, highlighting themes of ambition, familial estrangement, and the quest for innovation.
