CVNN9F93/Murder-by-Lamplight November 1866 The
grisly murder site in London's East End is
thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the
calmly efficient young woman among them to be a
medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse.
Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the
investigation, at first makes no effort to
disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is
accustomed to such condescension . . .To study
medicine, Julia had to leave Britain,
where universities still bar their doors to
women, and travel to America. She returned home
to work in her grandfather's practice8212an to
find London in the grip of a devastating cholera
epidemic. In four years, however, she has seen
nothing quite like this8212alocal clergyman's
body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner

links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr.

police taunting letters and tantalizing
clues8212thugh the trail leads in multiple
directions. Lewis and Tennant struggle to
understand the killer's dark obsessions and
motivations. But there is new urgency, for the
doctor's role appears to have shifted from expert
to target. And this killer is no impulsive
monster, but a fiendishly calculating opponent,
determined to see his plan through to its
terrifying conclusion . . .
