About this item

When Thomas Alva Edison asks for information, most feel compelled to give it. Not University of Washington Professor Benjamin Bradshaw. Not when the question concerns a device conceived in anger and harnessed for murder. Bradshaw hopes the mysterious invention remains lost in Elliott Bay, eluding the search of deep-sea divers. But when on a cold December morning in 1903 an electrician is found dead in the men's wear window of Seattle's Bon Marche clutching a festoon of Edison's holiday lights, Bradshaw suspects a dangerous game has been set in motion. Greed, passion, silence? Motives multiply as the dead man's secrets come to light. Bradshaw and his investigative partner Henry Pratt join Seattle Police Detective O'Brien to narrow suspects, but Bradshaw's intuition fails him.
