None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfather's practice--amid London's devastating cholera epidemic. Yet in four years she's seen nothing quite like this--a local clergyman's body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that she--and Tennant--both suspect is personal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDays later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues that lead from London's music halls to its grim workhouses and sewers. But as Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killer's dark machinations, there is a new urgency. For the doctor's role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . .\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrice McDonough\u003c\/b\u003e is a former educator who taught history for more than three decades.
