Anatomy of Murder
Imogen Robertson

While the navy battles the French at sea, a body is dragged from the murky waters of the River Thames. Mrs Harriet Westerman believes passionately in justice, but when she and reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther are invited to seek the true nature of the dead man, they risk censure for an unnatural interest in murder. But when the safety of a nation is at stake, personal reputation must give way to the pursuit of reason and truth.
