Book Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA HISTORICAL DAGGER 2024

EDINBURGH, 1853.
In a city of science, discovery can be deadly . . .

Body parts have been found at Surgeons'' Hall, and they''re not anatomy specimens. Dr Will Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, but the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.

Meanwhile, mesmerism, spiritualism and other unexplained phenomena are taking hold of hearts and minds. Frustrated in her own medical ambitions, Sarah Fisher sees opportunity in a new therapeutic field not already closed off to women. With the lines between science and spectacle dangerously blurred, the stage is set for a grand and deadly illusion . . .
