Kurzbeschreibung:

Leonora Spencer has an acquaintance with death. Sixteen years ago, only she survived the brutal murder of her family. Now, as an assistant in her uncles London morgue, she uses her photographic memory to catalogue details for his coroner reports. She also isnt opposed to helping him during postmortems if his skilled hands begin to shake. After a thief breaks into the morgue and steals a locket from a young womans corpse, Leo is determined to understand why, even if it means going against Detective Inspector Jasper Reids express orders to keep her nose out of it.
Born and bred in the East End slums, Jasper Reids recent promotion to the detectives branch at Scotland Yard is a long step up from his murky past . . . a past he cant afford to reveal to anyone. The last thing he needs is a convoluted case concerning the well-known eccentric Leo Spencer. As if her stubborn resolve to undermine his investigation isnt bad enough, matters deteriorate when Jasper realizes the criminals he associated with as a lad may also be involved.
When the missing locket and a handful of suspicious deaths point to a mysterious buried object, Jasper grudgingly accepts Leos help to locate it. But someone is watching them, and the more they uncover about a deadly blackmail plot, the closer Leo and Jasper get to becoming the killers next targets.
