Boston, 1893. Dr Elizabeth Arlington has buried her past deeper than the bodies she examines.
Once, she fooled Harvard Medical School, solved murders that baffled Scotland Yard, and survived a husband who wanted her dead. Now she treats patients in Boston's slums while dodging a vengeful assassin's shadow.
When a woman's mangled corpse is found on the railroad tracks, Elizabeth falls into old habits and examines the body. She realises this is no accident. It's a message.
As bodies pile up along Boston's railways, Elizabeth discovers she's not hunting a stranger. Someone from her carefully erased past has found her. Someone who knows exactly who she used to be. And what she did to survive.

McCurley turns to Dr Elizabeth Arlington — the one person who might reach the traumatised child. As she coaxes words from the boy's trembling hands, each hard-won revelation draws them deeper into a conspiracy that someone will kill to protect.
The boy knows faces. He knows names. He knows where the bodies are buried.
In a city where money talks and the poor disappear, Arthur's memories are currency someone's willing to kill for.

When a counterfeit conspiracy reaches Boston's shores, Dr Elizabeth Arlington must weaponise her medical knowledge to protect what's hers.
As an inspector at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Quinn McCurley is expected to uphold law and order. But beneath his respectable veneer hide deception, bloodshed, and dangerous alliances.
When a New York crime syndicate brings their operation to Boston, the old blood on Quinn's hands becomes their leverage. With corrupt officers at every level and the Secret Service playing their own game, Elizabeth and Quinn must use every tool at their disposal, no matter how illegal.
