The victims wounds speak of medical experimentation. Of doctors who view Londons poor as laboratory rats. Of a secret medical society that makes Burke and Hare look like amateurs.
To infiltrate their ranks, Kronberg must become the very monster she fears cold, brilliant, willing to kill in the name of science. Shell need to convince them shes worse than any of them.
