Crystal Spyglass — M.K. Mancos

The sound of redemption is a ticking clock. For three years, Gunjo has sat rotting in an East Angelian prison for stealing the Crystal Spyglass from the Royal Depository. Unable to locate the artifact, Queen Vittoria grants him an conditional release with the mandate--find the Spyglass or join his fellow conspirators on the gallows. As time is running out, his contacts are dropping dead. It will take a miracle to clear this case and find the Spyglass before their enemies discover it and convert it to the weapon of mass destruction it was designed to be.
