Two hearts. Twice as vulnerable.
Manhattan, 1850. Born out of wedlock to a wealthy socialite and a
nameless immigrant, Cora Lee can mingle with the rich just as easily as
she can slip unnoticed into the slums and graveyards of the city. As the
only female resurrectionist in New York, she's carved out a niche
procuring bodies afflicted with the strangest of anomalies. Anatomists
will pay exorbitant sums for such specimens--dissecting and displaying
them for the eager public.
Cora's specialty is not only profitable, it's a means to keep a finger
on the pulse of those searching for her. She's the girl born with two
hearts--a legend among grave robbers and anatomists--sought after as an
endangered prize.
Now, as a series of murders unfolds closer and closer to Cora, she can
no longer trust those she holds dear, including the young medical
student she's fallen for. Because someone has no intention of waiting
for Cora to die a natural death.
