A Mayfair Magician by George Griffith audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a storm-lashed Christmas Eve in the Scottish border hills, a visiting researcher is snowed in at H. M. Prison at Nether-moor. Over supper, the prison's brilliant medical officer - a devoted student of criminal psychology - points out a singular inmate: a cultivated man forced to wear a mask and motoring goggles, not to shield his eyes, but to shield others from them. To explain why, the doctor begins a tale that reaches from bleak prison corridors to country estates and the glittering world of London society. At Enstone Manor, wealthy Sir Godfrey Enstone and his adopted heir, Harold, welcome the renowned Professor Jenner Halkine and Halkine's enchanting niece, Grace Romanes. Harold is swiftly drawn to Grace, yet he cannot shake the uneasy sense that the professor's luminous gaze is more than a striking feature - that it is a tool. As Sir Godfrey and Halkine pursue a revolutionary breakthrough in the science of the mind, Harold suspects their work could become a weapon: a way to strip away privacy, bend will, and turn love, honor, and human life into variables in an experiment. In a world where thought itself can be invaded, the question is not only what can be done, but who can be trusted to do it.
