Hello everyone,
i wonder if you can help please. I read a book some years ago and want to track down the rest of the series. Sadly I can't recall the title or author. So in a massive needle in a haystack search I wondered if some of the points I can remember might jog other's memories.
It was an early SP novel. key points were the main character was a gentleman of leisure.
I bizarrely remember a phrase from the book where he wrote on his starched cuff " get help" as he'd no staff. He was highly connected as he seemed to be summoned to see queen Victoria a lot, who was being kept alive by a SP life support wheel chair that the royal engineers had made and had a cut off switch hidden in the back (which she knew of and had disconnected.)
There was some sort of underground semi hell fire club style venue he went to that behind the scenes had a religious order plotting against the empire and some new design of airship that was to be unveiled.
A robotoic man was carrying out burglaries and the man character has an argument with a devious posh gent on the steps of a gentlemen's club.
The main character had a lady that he met that helped him "solve the case" and a street lad that he met and had a fling with helped too I recall the phrase "XXX needed saving every five minutes".
The conclusion of the book was on an airship.
I realise its not much to go on but I thought with so much knowledge here someone might be able to help me
