About this listen
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC FICTION
'A joyously funny and absurd steampunk frolic that satirises both the era in which it is set and our own age'
FINANCIAL TIMES
From the creators of the acclaimed audio drama podcast Victoriocity comes a cozy scifi mystery set in the chaotic metropolis of Even Greater London - unmissable for fans of Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
EVEN GREATER LONDON, 1887: a vast, uninterrupted urban plane encompassing the entire lower half of England and, for complex reasons, only the upper third of the Isle of Wight... The immense Tower casts electricity across the sky itself, powering the mind-boggling mechanisms of the city below; the notorious engineer-army swarms through its very veins, building, demolishing, and rebuilding whatever they see fit; and - at the heart of it all - sits the country's first ever private detective agency.
Archibald Fleet and Clara Entwhistle hoped things would pick up quickly for their new enterprise. No one is taking them seriously, but their break will come soon. Definitely... Probably.
Meanwhile, police are baffled by a series of impossible bank robberies, their resources wholly absorbed by the case. Which means that when a woman witnesses a kidnapping, Fleet-Entwhistle Private Investigations is the only place she can turn for help. Luckily they're more than happy to oblige.
But what's the motive behind the kidnap? As Clara and Fleet investigate, they find more than they could ever have imagined...
Chris and Jen Sugden's book 'High Vaultage' was a No. 5 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 18-03-2024.

Fleet and Entwhistle ride again!
Well done Chris and Jen. Another fun adventure in the crazy world of Even Greater London. And what a stellar performance by Peter Wicks bringing all Chris and Jen’s weird and wonderful characters to life.
Looking forward to the next novel and more Victoriocity!

perfect addition to the Greater London universe
The Sugdens have done a fantastic job translating from podcast to paper, and Peter Wicks does a great job narrating. I do admit to missing Chris Sugden as Inspector Keller!
I'm a huge fan of how the Sugdens write, their use of language is delightful, and they have a firm grasp of their characters and who they are, it was honestly a joy to read and i really look forward to the next novel.
High Vaultage has firmly secured it's place in my all-time favourite books.
