Meet your new favourite partners-in-crime in the most hilarious time-travel caper of the year
A St Mary's and Time Police spinoff - the origin story of everyone's favourite bounty hunters: Smallhope and Pennyroyal.

From the globally bestselling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's series, a not-so-ladylike aristocrat meets the world's most unlikely butler, and together they bring a whole new meaning to partners-in-crime.

'Clever, funny and made my heart hurt in the best way' Stephanie Butland, bestselling author of Found in a Bookshop

Meet Lady Amelia Smallhope, for whom there is no problem that can't be solved by a drink and a think.

And Pennyroyal, for whom there is no problem. Ever.

Everyone's favourite time-travelling bounty hunters. Sorry - 'recovery agents'. No bad guy they can't handle. No expense account too flexible. No rule they cannot break.

As long as they're together, the world is their oyster. And they'll always have each other's backs, right?

Fasten your seatbelts. The timeline doesn't know what's hit it.


Readers can't get enough of Smallhope and Pennyroyal.
