Review

"[A] top-notch historical page-turner." (starred review)

Publisher's note

Nineteenth-century Philadelphia physician Ephraim Carroll draws on the new techniques of forensic medicine to investigate the brutal murder of a beautiful young woman and the horror that led to her death, in a historical thriller populated by such real-life characters as pioneering physicians William Osler and William Stewart Halsted and painter Thomas Eakins. A first novel. 50,000 first printing.

Annotation

In this exceptional historical and medical thriller, a young doctor in Philadelphia circa 1889 begins to discover some disturbing facts about the real-life William Osler, considered one of the giants of modern medicine. Osler is beloved by all, considered a paragon of virtue--so why does he avoid performing an autopsy on a young woman who later turns out to have been poisoned? And why does his suspicious colleague suddenly contract cholera? Inspired by a real document that Osler ordered to be sealed until years after his death, THE ANATOMY OF DECEPTION is a chilling look back into the early days of medicine.
