Publisher Description
Boston, 1893. Dr Elizabeth Arlington has buried her past deeper than the bodies she examines.
Once, she fooled Harvard Medical School, solved murders that baffled Scotland Yard, and survived a husband who wanted her dead. Now she treats patients in Boston's slums while dodging a vengeful assassin's shadow.
When a woman's mangled corpse is found on the railroad tracks, Elizabeth falls into old habits and examines the body. She realises this is no accident. It's a message.
As bodies pile up along Boston's railways, Elizabeth discovers she's not hunting a stranger. Someone from her carefully erased past has found her. Someone who knows exactly who she used to be. And what she did to survive.

Silent Witnesses
This book was a little harder for me to get into the plot. Lots of characters and trying to figure out who the one is that is murdering woman.
