Edinburgh, 1817: a gothic tale full of mystery and romance . . . Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry. Jack Currer is a resurrection man who’s trying to survive in a city where it’s far too easy to die. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, neither realise that it will change their lives for ever . . . [anatomical heart ornament to separate these sections?] Despite being thrown out of Dr Beecham’s lectures, Hazel is determined not to compromise on her ambitions. But without official lessons, Hazel will need more than just her books – she’ll need corpses to study. Lucky that she’s just made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living. Unfortunately, Jack has his own problems: dangerous men are skulking around the cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets and the city slums are plagued with a mysterious illness. Nobody seems to care – until Hazel. With so much on the line, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried beyond the unmarked graves – in the very heart of Edinburgh society . . . ‘Diabolically delightful. A love story, a murder mystery, and a horror novel bound up together in ghoulish stitches’ Maureen Johnson ‘A fast-paced, utterly engrossing tale of mystery, romance, and cadavers’ Alwyn Hamilton
