Sinopse

Powerful, bloody, and brilliant, The Garden of Bones skillfully weaves together the stories of protagonists from the 19th and 21st centuries, unraveling dark mysteries across time and space.

Boston, 1830. To pay for his studies, Norris Marshall, a talented but financially strapped medical student, joins the ranks of the "resurrectionists"—grave robbers who trade corpses on the black market. However, even this morbid trade pales in comparison to the mutilated body of a nurse found on the university hospital grounds. When a renowned doctor suffers the same fate, Norris discovers that his illicit livelihood has made him the prime suspect in the crimes.

To prove his innocence, the student must find the only witness who saw the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums. Alongside the sarcastic and intelligent young Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose scour the city for a maniac waiting for the next opportunity to kill.

Massachusetts, present day. Julia Hamill has made a gruesome discovery in her new rural home: a skull buried in the garden. Human, female, and, according to pathologist Maura Isle, bearing the unmistakable hallmarks of homicide. Whoever she was or whatever happened to that woman is lost to the past.

With relentless suspense and a perfect period reconstruction, The Garden of Bones skillfully interweaves the stories of protagonists from the 19th and 21st centuries, unraveling dark mysteries across time and space and confirming the exquisite talent of Tess Gerritsen.
