Synopsis:
Julia Hamill is gardening one afternoon in rural Massachusetts when her spade strikes something soft and unyielding — not a rock but a human skull.
Medical examiner Maura Isles quickly determines that the skeleton — that of a woman — dates back to the early 1800s. “But too much time has passed,“ Maura warns Julia. “We may never know the whole story of how she died.“
Boston in the 1830s is a place of disease and pestilence — and no one is more aware of this than Norris Marshall, a student at Boston Medical College who is forced to support himself by performing the most secretive job of all.
Norris is a resurrectionist — a body-snatcher — who procures cadavers from graverobbers in order to further his study of human anatomy. Soon he finds himself hunting the most notorious killer of his time, a shadowy figure who flits through graveyards and glittering ballrooms.
What he does not realize is that the killer is far closer than he thinks…
