But whoever this nameless woman was  and whatever befell her  is knowledge lost to another time. . . .  Boston  1830: In order to pay for his education  Norris Marshall  a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College  has joined the ranks of local resurrectioniststhose who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate  Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect.  To prove his innocence  Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly  a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic  keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes  Norris and Rose comb the cityfrom its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin poweron the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected . . . and who waits for his next lethal opportunity.  With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail  The Bone Garden deftly interweaves the thrilling narratives of its nineteenth- and twenty-first century protagonists  tracing the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking.
