A slave in South Carolina is stripped and photographed. A night watchman in Cambridge is assaulted. An extra corpse turns up in a tomb. How are they connected--and who's next?
On the eve of the Civil War, Sumner Bascomb, Superintendent of Boston's beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery, finds his career on the line as things go seriously awry in the garden of the dead. He finds unexpected allies in renowned Harvard botanist Asa Gray and fugitive slave Roxanne Jacobs, who are fighting their own battles for survival.
As Bascomb, Gray, and Jacobs endeavor to solve a string of disappearances, they discover bitter rivalries, family secrets, and unbreakable bonds of blood, love, and vengeance.
