A Raven and Fisher Mystery 4: Voices of the Dead

內容簡介

內容簡介 愛丁堡，1853年，在醫學突飛猛進發展的年代，人們卻同時對催眠、神秘學與充滿幻象的魔術表演越發充滿興致。亨利‧勒托約翰醫生被市政廳任命為警察外科醫，肩負起追查市內任何意外或蓄意兇殺案，因為當時愛丁堡市民對「柏克與哈爾殺人事件」餘悸猶存，他們以提供屍體給醫學院解剖研究藉口為由，蓄意犯下多起謀財害命的兇案。同時，一些新興醫院如雨後春筍般出現，聲稱催眠可以被運用在醫療上，甚至瑞文的老師辛普森博士，也認為確實該給這項全新的技術一個公平的機會。已經成為執業醫生的瑞文，認為堅守專業醫師與非專業受訓出身的份際十分重要，對催眠療法的態度存疑，但對於他的朋友─也是曾經的搭檔─莎拉‧費雪來說卻沒有太多選擇。莎拉過去在辛普森醫學博士家擔任女僕，以自己的聰明才智吸收豐富的醫學知識，辭去女僕後，她認真讀書學習，一心一意想成為醫師，卻因為性別處處碰壁。正當她四處尋找醫院無門，一間新開醫院推行催眠療法的內科部門卻意外對莎拉伸出友善的手...瑞文即便很想勸阻莎拉，但最近的事件也夠他忙了，當亨利‧勒托約翰醫生緊急呼換他立刻前往皇家外科學院，因為一些不知名的屍塊出現在學院大廳！瑞文調查後確認這些不是醫學院學生的解剖練習用軀塊，而是真正的無名屍體時，越來越多的部分肢體陸續被發現，瑞文開始進一步追查，而證據帶領他一步步靠近真兇，以及巨大的危險之中...EDINBURGH, 1853.In a city of science, discovery can be deadly . . .In a time of unprecedented scientific discovery, the public's appetite for wonder has seen a resurgence of interest in mesmerism, spiritualism and other unexplained phenomena.Dr Will Raven is wary of the shadowlands that lie between progress and quackery, but Sarah Fisher can't afford to be so picky. Frustrated in her medical ambitions, she sees opportunity in a new therapeutic field not already closed off to women.Raven has enough on his hands as it is. Body parts have been found at Surgeons' Hall, and they're not anatomy specimens. In a city still haunted by the crimes of Burke and Hare, he is tasked with heading off a scandal.When further human remains are found, Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, and the hunt is on before he kills again. Unfortunately, the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.With the lines between science and spectacle dangerously blurred, the stage is set for a grand and deadly illusion . . .
