Audrey Rose is unusual for women of her era. She has a fascination for science and forensic pathology, and her uncle grudgingly encourages it. She spends much of her time assisting him with autopsies, and when a murdered women shows up on his slab, Audrey is determined to discover who’s responsible.
Her uncle’s assistant Thomas is a maddeningly clever man, and an irredeemable flirt. He is also the only one willing to work with her to find the killer–the one the newspapers are calling The Ripper.
The identity of the killer hits closer to home than she expects.
