Matthew Pearl has crafted another superb historical mystery using
real people and events to craft a compelling fictional story. The year is
1868 and MIT is getting ready to graduate its very first class. MIT is a
new kind of college; everyone is allowed to enroll, not just the wealthy
and well connected. When a series of "scientific" disasters
strike Boston, the eyes of Harvard, the police, and the press turn toward
MIT. Some of the soon to graduate class, lead by civil war veteran Marcus
Mansfield, decide to find the real culprit behind these acts. Can Marcus
and the rest of the Technologists save the city and the reputation of
their school?
