□

在那座以鮮血灌溉的花園裡，長眠著完整真相的最後一塊拼圖……

波士頓現在

剛與前夫分手的茱麗亞在波士頓近郊買下一棟古屋，當她決定竭盡心力打造出夢想中的美麗花園時，她手中的鐵鏟卻挖出了一起可怕的秘密──在她的花園下方，有具屍骨。

波士頓一八三○年

窮困但優秀的醫學院學生諾里斯．馬歇爾，被指控為以殘忍手法連續屠殺數人的「西城死神」。諾里斯為了證明自己的清白，他四處奔走，想要找到在第一起凶案發生時的目擊者：一名愛爾蘭姑娘羅絲．康納利。當諾里斯費盡千辛萬苦找到羅絲之時，卻發現「西城死神」的受害者均於諾里斯就讀之醫學院任職，更令人意外的是，受害者們也都與羅絲死去的姊姊有所關連……

波士頓現在

法醫很快證實花園中的死者在此地已被埋超過百年，然而，一通來自前屋主親戚，亨利．佩吉老先生的電話，卻引起了茱麗亞強烈的好奇心。亨利．佩吉從前任屋主處接手老屋裡多達數十箱的珍貴文件，其中包含了數封十九世紀末的信件，而這些信件中記載著百年前在波士頓引起轟動的「西城死神」連續殺人案。茱麗亞為此案深深著迷，同時她也意識到，自己似乎和這座花園，有著難以言喻的緣份……

一棟年久失修的古宅、一座荒蕪寬廣的花園、一具身份不明的女屍，意外引出百年前連環兇案的最終真相！

Unknown bones, untold secrets, and unsolved crimes from the distant past cast ominous shadows on the present in the dazzling new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. But whoever this nameless woman was, and whatever befell her, is knowledge lost to another time. . . .

Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, Norris Marshall, a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College, has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect.

To prove his innocence, Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic, keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose comb the city–from its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin power–on the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected . . . and who waits for his next lethal opportunity.

With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, The Bone Garden deftly interweaves the thrilling narratives of its nineteenth- and twenty-first century protagonists, tracing the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking. Bold, bloody, and brilliant, this is Tess Gerritsen’s finest achievement to date.
