āEnthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulseāpounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!āāMary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling Author
November 1866: The grisly murder site in Londonās East End is thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . .
To study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfatherās practiceāamid Londonās devastating cholera epidemic. Yet in four years sheās seen nothing quite like thisāa local clergymanās body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that sheāand Tennantāboth suspect is personal.
Days later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues that lead from Londonās music halls to its grim workhouses and sewers. But as Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killerās dark machinations, there is a new urgency. For the doctorās role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . .
