Illustrated edition of book 1 in the award-winning Kronberg & Holmes series.
She's London's most brilliant bacteriologist. She's also not supposed to exist.
By day, Dr Kronberg cuts through corpses in Guy's Hospital's gaslit laboratories, hunting microscopic killers that claim more lives than Jack the Ripper. All the while, hoping no one discovers the woman beneath the gentleman's attire.
When a body surfaces in London's waterworks bearing marks of medical torture, Kronberg draws the attention of Sherlock Holmes. He sees through her disguise in seconds. Though Holmes could destroy her with a word, he isn't her biggest problem.
The victim's wounds speak of medical experimentation. Of doctors who view London's poor as laboratory rats. Of a secret medical society that makes Burke and Hare look like amateurs.
To infiltrate their ranks, Kronberg must become the very monster she fears - cold, brilliant, willing to kill in the name of science. She'll need to convince them she's worse than any of them.
Part Victorian medical thriller, part dark academia fever dream, and perfect for readers who crave: The medical authenticity of The Alienist, the dark academia conspiracy of Ninth House and heroines who are unapologetically dangerous.
