* * * * *. History. So you know who did it; this is not a mystery book. It's a thriller. How do you catch an assassin using 19th century tactics? Not easily. Think '24' meets 'The Fugitive'. The pages will fly, which is surprising given how unsurprising the conclusion will be. This is a well researched book that places you right there, right down to the gruesome examinations and analysis of the 19th century doctors. Highly recommended.
