A series of gruesome murders compel the widowed Lady Darby to step forward and assist the investigator Sebastian Gage. Because of her forced association with her husband in the dissection of corpses (horrors!), accusations and rumors swirl around her. But participation is now a way for her to possibly clear her name. Negative feelings abound in the era of the beginnings of human biological science, since corpses are usually those of executed criminals. But the lack of subjects has led to grave robbery. Several red herrings will throw you off the path, but the resolution of the mystery is very satisfying.
