'Makes you want to read every word...the plot is serpentine and
satisfying, with enough false trails and distractions to create a
genuine mystery' Telegraph The streets of London seethe with rumour
and conspiracy as the King's navy battles the French at sea. And
while the banks of the Thames swarm with life, a body is dragged
from its murky waters. In another part of town, where the air seems
sweeter, the privileged enjoy a brighter world of complacent wealth
and intoxicating celebrity. But as society revels in its pleasures,
a darker plot is played out. Yet some are willing to look below the
surface to the unsavoury depths. Mrs Harriet Westerman believes
passionately in justice. Reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther is
fascinated by the bones beneath the skin. Invited to seek the true
nature of the dead man, they risk censure for an unnatural interest
in murder. But when the safety of a nation is at stake, personal
reputation must give way to the pursuit of reason and truth.
