Adrift in the Unknown

At eleven, Professor Quinn’s steel castle stood in Harlem; by midnight, the house, its owner, and four visiting millionaires had vanished. The only witness insists he was sober.

In a Harlem of newspaper scoops and Wall Street empires, reformed burglar James Peter Munn sets out to rob the eccentric Professor Quinn—and finds himself drawn into a mystery far stranger than a missing fortune. Quinn claims to have challenged the laws of gravity, while his vanished guests are four financiers bent on tightening their grip on the country’s resources. Their disappearance leaves detectives baffled and the nation wondering what became of its most powerful men. What has Quinn discovered, and where has his castle carried them?
