    • Abstract:
      Set in 1849 Edinburgh, Parry's outstanding sequel to 2018's The Way of All Flesh (the author is the husband-and-wife writing team of Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman) finds Will Raven still apprenticed to real-life surgeon James Simpson. Will and his sometime love interest, Sarah Fisher, who was once Simpson's maid, join forces to prove Simpson's innocence after a former assistant and a professor of surgery accuse Simpson of being responsible for the death of a patient through negligence. Simpson's accusers claim that the woman on whom he performed a procedure ("Something to do with the cervix, I think", Sarah says) died of a hemorrhage, as evidenced by the bloodstains on the mattress she died on.
