A medical thriller in 1889 Philadelphia. A young doctor, Ephraim Carroll is learning about death and autopsies. When the body of a young woman come in the surgery theater, question arise in young Ephraim's mind. He travels to many seedy parts of the city trying to find out about the woman. The book has many interested historical facts about early medicine and the things doctors did back then. A good suspense story with some twists and turns.
