About The Bone Garden
After finding a murdered woman’s skull on the grounds of her Massachusetts home, Julia Hamill uncovers a mystery rooted nearly two centuries in the past. In 1830 Boston, impoverished medical student Norris Marshall earns money supplying cadavers to a medical school and becomes a suspect when brutal murders strike the hospital. His attempt to clear his name, aided by witness Rose Connolly, reveals a case whose secrets reach into Julia’s present-day discovery.
