The prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight returns to the
darkening shadows of nineteenth-century Scotland to track a killer
on a profane mission of revenge. A wicked Scottish winter has just
begun when pioneering female physician Sophia Jex-Blake calls on
Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton to investigate the suspicious
death of one of her patients-a railroad lineman who she believes
succumbed to the horrific effects of arsenic poisoning. The most
provocative aspect of the case doesn't escape Hamilton: the married
victim's numerous sexual transgressions. Now, for the first time
since the unexplained fire that killed his parents, Hamilton enters
the Royal Infirmary to gain the insights of brilliant medical
student Arthur Conan Doyle. Then a second poisoning occurs-this
time, a prominent banker who died in the bed of a prostitute. It
appears that someone is making Edinburgh's more promiscuous
citizens pay for their sins. As the body count rises and public
panic takes hold, Hamilton and Doyle delve into the seedy
underbelly of the city, where nothing is as it seems, no one is
immune to murder, and even trusted friends can be enemies in
disguise.
