Description
In 1780s London, anatomist and investigator Dr. Thomas Silkstone is drawn into the baffling disappearance of the lone survivor of a disastrous scientific expedition. His search uncovers rumors of a forbidden elixir capable of restoring life, as well as a sinister trade in corpses that reaches into the city’s most respectable circles. Amid grisly murders, scientific ambition, and a quest for vengeance, Silkstone must separate fact from superstition before the secret behind the potion claims more lives. Blending historical detail with atmospheric mystery, the novel explores the uneasy boundary between medical discovery and moral corruption.
