Something a little different this time from Gerritsen.
Julia discovers a skeleton buried in the garden of the Boston house she's just moved into and the fractured bones suggest murder. Flashbacks to 1830 tell the story of medical student Norris, an outcast among his wealthier classmates, who meets Rose in a Boston maternity ward, where her sister recently died of childbirth fever. When several gutted bodies turn up in deserted alleyways, Rose and Norris are the only ones to catch a glimpse of the West End Reaper. Norris, Rose and Norris's fellow student, Oliver Wendell Holmes, race to uncover the truth behind the murders. In the present, Julia is able to trace their progress with the help of a relative of the house's former owner. An interesting look into the medical practice and training of the 1800's adds to this suspense/love story.
