"Dark, disturbing, and filled with moments of real charm and magic, The Music of Razors is the best first novel I've seen this year."Locus

In nineteenth-century Boston, a young doctor on the run from the law falls in with a British confidence artist. Togetherand with dire consequencesthey bring back to the light something meant to be forgotten.

A world away in London, an absent father, haunted by the voice of a banished angel, presents his daughter with an impossible frienda clockwork ballerina.

For two centuries, a bullet-removal specialist has wielded instruments of angel bone in service to a forgotten power . . . and now he vows to find someone else to shoulder the burden, someone with a conscience of their own, a strong mind, and a broken will. For a hundred years he has searched for the perfect contender, and now he has found two: a brother and a sister. Walter and Hope. Either will do.

Last night something stepped from little Walter's closet and he never woke up. Now he travels the dark road between worlds, no longer entirely boy nor wholly beast, but with one goal in mind: to prevent his sister from suffering the same fate as he. Only the creature he has become can save Hope. But is it too late to save himself?

Praise for The Music of Razors

"A nightmarishly imaginative debut from a writer of real assurance and vision . . . Cameron Rogers is going to go places."Neil Gaiman

"This was an impressive first novel. In The Music of Razors, Cameron Rogers weaves a thought-provoking and compelling dark fantasy from the mythology of religion."Jeff Ford, author of The Girl in the Glass

"Slippery and quick with a bite that won't let go long after you turn the final page."Sean Williams, author of The Crooked Letter

"Jam-packed with enough extraordinary ideas to fill a dozen novels. Never was fantasy darker or more disturbing. The novelistic equivalent of Twin Peaks."Richard Harland, author of Ferren and the Angel
