Seller Description
n his award-winning debut novel, The Requiem Shark, Nicholas Griffin spun a tale of slavery and piracy in the Caribbean with such an assured literary hand and deft wit that critics and readers alike were mesmerized. In The House of Sight and Shadow, he transports us once again to the eighteenth century, to a London recovering from the ravages of plague and fire, where two doctors crisscross the boundaries of morality in their heady pursuit of scientific progress. Their challenge leads Sir Edmund Calcraft, an eminent and notorious anatomist, and Joseph Bendix, his ambitious young student, into playing a dark game with the growing criminal underworld. At the heart of the book lies a haunting love story that both drives and threatens to destroy their common quest.
