A story of a woman who has a child with a rare heart disease goes missing. Ironically, after a year of the child missing a new exhibit has arrived at a local doctor's collection of human organs with the same defect as her child. After the doctor publicly shames the woman for her accusations she then goes undercover as a house maid. It turns out that the dirty rink of Doctors were hunting and harvesting humans. However, it turns into a tale of Money vs. truth.

This book was OK, I was really into. However, it got so boring. There was so much that could have been left out. This book would have been 5 stars if the author would have stuck to the point.

Such a great gothic style tale. Great for Halloween

In early 19th century Scotland, Isabel is trying to make the most of the time her young son Thomas has left. Since being stricken with yellow fever, it’s only been a matter of time before the disease would take him from her forever. Still, she doesn’t give up hope and contacts a specialist to see if he can provide any help. It would appear he can do nothing for her son, but Isabel stumbles upon some gory and horrific displays in the good doctors laboratory. This is a creepy story of 19th century medicine and the terrible lengths that doctors went to, to understand disease and the human body
