Ramshackle and crumbling, trapped in the past and resisting the
future, St. Saviour’s Infirmary awaits demolition. Within its
stinking wards and cramped corridors, the doctors bicker and
backstab. Ambition, jealousy, and loathing seethe beneath the
veneer of professional courtesy. Always an outsider, and with a
secret of her own to hide, apothecary Jem Flockhart observes
everything but says nothing. And then six tiny coffins are
uncovered, inside each a handful of dried flowers and a bundle of
mouldering rags. When Jem comes across these strange relics hidden
inside the infirmary’s old chapel, her quest to understand their
meaning prises open a long-forgotten past—with fatal
consequences. In a trail that leads from the bloody world of the
operating room and the dissecting table to the notorious squalor of
Newgate Prison and the gallows, Jem’s adversary proves to be both
powerful and ruthless. As St. Saviour’s destruction draws near,
the dead are unearthed from their graves while the living are
forced to make impossible choices. And murder is the price to be
paid for the secrets to be kept.
