In the fog-draped streets of late 19th-century Edinburgh, Dr. Evelyn Blackwood, a pioneering forensic anthropologist, walks a razor's edge between science and the supernatural. Called to consult on a string of gruesome murders, she is confronted with crime scenes unlike anything the city has ever seen: human skeletons dismantled, rearranged into hauntingly beautiful patterns, and marked with symbols steeped in necromantic lore.
Evelyn's investigation draws her into a hidden war within Edinburgh's elite, a world of academic betrayal, illicit body snatching, and a secretive order known as the Society of Bones. This clandestine network wields anatomical mastery and ancient beliefs to harvest the dead for purposes both scientific and occult. Their ambitions are as chilling as their methods: to harness the energy of human remains and reshape history itself.
But this is more than just a professional challenge. Evelyn's own family legacy, marred by scandal, betrayal, and the mysterious disappearance of her father, intertwines with the case, making every discovery a step closer to personal truth... and mortal danger.
Meticulously researched and rich in atmosphere, The Bone Garden Murders fuses the precision of forensic science with the intrigue of secret societies, delivering a chilling gothic mystery where every bone tells a story, and some stories refuse to rest in peace.
