On 23 November 1849, in the heart of Boston, one of the city's
richest men vanished. Dr. George Parkman, who owned much of
Boston's West End, was last seen that afternoon visiting his alma
mater, Harvard Medical School. Police scoured city tenements and
the harbour but a Harvard janitor held a much darker suspicion:
that their ruthless benefactor had not left the Medical School
building. His shocking discovery engulfed America in one of its
most infamous trials, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. John
White Webster, Harvard's professor of chemistry. A baffling case of
red herrings, grave robbing and dismemberment; it became a landmark
in the use of medical forensics. Rich in characters and atmosphere,
Blood & Ivy explores the fatal entanglement of new science and
old money in one of America's greatest murder mysteries.
