Tessa Harris Libri

    Questa autrice approfondisce gli inizi della scienza forense, dell'anatomia e della chirurgia attraverso una narrazione avvincente. Il suo lavoro esamina le sfide etiche e pratiche affrontate dagli anatomisti del passato, in particolare per quanto riguarda il commercio illecito di corpi. Attraverso i suoi personaggi, esplora le affascinanti questioni dell'accesso ai resti umani per lo studio scientifico e le difficoltà intrinseche allo sviluppo di questi campi medici cruciali. Indaga le complessità dell'epoca e la necessità per gli anatomisti di ottenere l'accesso ai corpi per la dissezione, il che portò al commercio illegale dei morti.

      Victorian England. Clairvoyant flower seller Constance Piper receives supernatural aid from her late mentor-- and more grounded help from detective Thaddeus Hawkins-- as she uncovers links between murders in Whitechapel and a Fenian gang. Using violence to further their goal of an independent Ireland, the Fenians may be using the murders to make the British police look helpless. But the greatest evil may lie in an conspiracy that runs from Whitechapel to the highest office in the land. -- adapted from jacket

      A man staggers out of his cottage into the streets of Oxfordshire, shattering an otherwise peaceful evening with the terrible sight of his body shaking and heaving, eyes wild with horror. Many of the villagers believe the Devil himself has entered Joseph Makepeace, the latest victim of a "great fog" that darkens the skies over England like a Biblical plague. When Joseph's son and daughter are found murdered - heads bashed in by a shovel - the town's worst suspicions are confirmed: Evil is abroad, and needs to be banished. A brilliant man of science, Dr. Thomas Silkstone is not one to heed superstition. But when he arrives at the estate of the lovely widow Lady Lydia Farrell, he finds that it's not just her grain and livestock at risk. A shroud of mystery surrounds Lydia's lost child, who may still be alive in a workhouse. A natural disaster fills the skies with smoke and ash, clogging the lungs of all who breathe it in. And the grisly details of a father's crime compels Dr. Silkstone to look for answers beyond his medical books - between the Devil and the deep blue sea.
