About the Author:
Tessa Harris, born in Lincolnshire, holds a history degree from Oxford University. After four years of working with local newspapers, she set her sights on women's magazines.

She lives in Berkshire with her husband and their two children.
Review:
''An American physician in post-Revolutionary War England takes on a potent drug, a baffling murder and a determined rival . . . Harris successfully balances history, homicide, science, sorcery, and social justice in her idealistic hero's fourth case.'' --Kirkus
''Impossible to put down. Harris uses telling details to make readers feel part of the time. With each book, the mysteries have become stronger, and the subject of slavery in England lends a heartbreaking note to this novel. Silkstone is an admirable character and he captures readers' emotional interest.'' --RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
''Conflicting attitudes toward slavery in Georgian England propel Harris' stellar fourth historical starring American anatomist Thomas Silkstone . . . Harris' prose and characterizations have only become more assured.'' --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In 1780s London, American anatomist Dr. Thomas Silkstone is plunged into a swirling cauldron of sorcery, slavery, and cold-blooded murder . . .When the sole survivor of an ill-fated scientific expedition to Jamaica goes missing upon his return to London, Dr. Thomas Silkstone - entrusted with cataloguing the expedition's New World specimens - feels compelled to investigate. There are rumours of a potion that has the power to raise the dead - and the formula is suspected to be in the private journal that has disappeared along with the young botanist. As Dr. Silkstone searches for clues to the man's whereabouts, he is drawn deeper into a dark and dangerous world of vengeance, infidelity, murder and the trafficking of corpses for profit. Without the support of his beloved Lady Lydia Farrell - from whom he has been forcibly separated by law - he must confront the horrors of slavery, as well the very depths of human wickedness. And after a headless corpse is discovered, Dr. Silkstone begins to uncover the sinister motives of those in power who would stop at nothing to possess the Lazarus potion. . .
