When Abigail Lawless, the eighteen-year-old daughter of the city coroner, by chance discovers a message from the maids seducer, she sets out to discover the truth.An only child, Abigail has been raised amid the books and instruments of her fathers grim profession, and he in turn indulges her curious and critical mind. Now she must push against the restrictions society places on a girl her age to pursue an increasingly dangerous investigation. Abigails searches begin to uncover the well-guarded secrets of two factionsthe Christian Brethren and a burgeoning rationalist communitydrawing the attention of a sinister figure who emerges in fleeting glimpses and second-hand reports: the man with the lazy eye.Determined, resourceful, and intuitive, Abigail Lawless emerges as a young lady sleuth operating at the dawn of forensic science.
