Within the mysteries of the body, especially those who have
been murdered, 18th-century anatomist Dr. Thomas Silkstone
specializes in uncovering the tell-tale clues that lead
towards justice…
Newly released from the notorious asylum known as Bedlam,
Lady Lydia Farrell finds herself in an equally terrifying
position--as a murder suspect--when she stumbles upon the
mutilated body of Sir Montagu Malthus in his study at
Boughton Hall.
Meanwhile Dr. Thomas Silkstone has been injured in a duel
with a man who may or may not have committed the grisly deed
of which Lydia is accused. Despite his injury, Thomas hopes
to clear his beloved's good name by conducting a postmortem
on the victim. With a bit of detective work, he learns that
Montagu's throat was slit by no ordinary blade, but a
ceremonial Sikh dagger from India--a clue that may be
connected to the fabled lost mines of Golconda.
From the mysterious disappearance of a cursed diamond buried
with Lydia's dead husband, to the undying legend of a hidden
treasure map, Thomas must follow a trail of foreign
dignitaries, royal agents--and even more victims--to unveil
the sinister and shocking secrets in the stones…
