Book Description
Tessa Harris' debut novel is a gripping mystery that combines the intrigue of CSI with its fascinating 18th-century historical setting.
From the Back Cover
The death of Lord Edward Crick has unleashed a torrent of gossip through the seedy taverns and elegant ballrooms of Oxfordshire. Few mourn the dissolute young man - except his sister, the beautiful Lady Lydia Farrell. When her husband comes under suspicion of murder, she seeks expert help from Dr. Thomas Silkstone, a young anatomist and pioneering forensic detective from Philadelphia.
Against his better judgment he agrees to examine Sir Edward's decomposing corpse, and soon learns that it is not only the dead but also the living to whom he must apply the keen blade of his intellect. And the deeper the doctor's investigations go, the greater the risk that he will be consigned to the ranks of the corpses he studies . . .
'A densely plotted yarn about an 18th century poisoner . . . we await - indeed, demand - the sequel' New York Times BooK Review
