Book description
A gruesome secret is about to be unearthed...
When a human skull is dug up in a garden near Boston, Dr Maura
Isles is called in to investigate. She quickly discovers that the
skeleton - that of a young woman - has been buried for over a hundred
years. But who was the woman? And how did she die?
It is the 1930s, and an impoverished medical student, Norris
Marshall, is forced to procure corpses in order to further his studies
in human anatomy.
It's a gruesome livelihood that will bring him into contact with a
terrifying serial killer who slips from ballrooms to graveyards and
into autopsy suites.
And who is far, far closer than Norris could ever imagine...
Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she
brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy
rooms. But her interests span far more than medical topics. As an
anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued
centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world
driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural
phenomena. She lives with her husband in Maine.
