Synopsis:

In 19th-century Europe a young Scottish medical student travels to Paris to study under the famous naturalist Dr. Cuvier. In his possession he carries rare fossils, corals, and a mammoth bone. In his coach he meets an alluring and radically educated woman who steals his valuable artifacts as he sleeps. As he tries to track down the mysterious thief, he finds himself mingling with a shadowy legion of philosophers and rogue scientists who have hatched an outrageous plot. Rebecca Stott follows up her acclaimed debut GHOSTWALK with another historical novel that combines riveting suspense with thought-provoking concepts.
