Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has
taken refuge at her sister's estate, finding solace in her passion
for painting. But when her hosts throw a house party for the cream
of London society, Kiera is unable to hide from the ire of those
who believe her to be as unnatural as her husband, an anatomist who
used her artistic talents to suit his own macabre purposes.
Kiera wants to put her past aside, but when one of the house
guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to utilize her
knowledge of human anatomy to aid the insufferable Sebastian
Gage--a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent.
While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera
isn't about to let her guard down as accusations and rumors swirl.
When Kiera and Gage's search leads them to even more gruesome
discoveries, a series of disturbing notes urges Lady Darby to give
up the inquiry. But Kiera is determined to both protect her family
and prove her innocence, even as she risks becoming the next
victim...
"Scotland, 1830. "Following the death of her dear friend, Lady
Kiera Darby is in need of a safe haven. Returning to her childhood
home, Kiera hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the merriment of
the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is
murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera
is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death.
While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further
tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the
difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means
Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by
inquiry agent Sebastian Gage.
When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was
not the first--some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them
for ransom. Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave robber and put
the case to rest...before another victim winds up six feet
under.
