Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil-human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, medical student Norris Marshall has joined the ranks of local resurrectionists-those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. But when a distinguished doctor is found murdered and mutilated on university grounds, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect. With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, THE BONE GARDEN deftly traces the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking. From the Compact Disc edition.

When you read this book, remember that O.W.H. originated the modern approach to forensic analysis of cadavers. His real life was more amazing than a novel.

I really liked this book. It kept my interest so much, that I decided to start Tess Gerritsen's books from the very first one. She is a terrific writer with hospital scenes that are very realistic. Enjoyed this novel very much.
