Once, she fooled Harvard Medical School, solved murders that baffled Scotland Yard, and survived a husband who wanted her dead. Now she treats patients in Boston's slums while dodging a vengeful assassin's shadow.

When a woman's mangled corpse is found on the railroad tracks, Elizabeth falls into old habits and examines the body. She realises this is no accident. It's a message. 

As bodies pile up along Boston's railways, Elizabeth discovers she's not hunting a stranger. Someone from her carefully erased past has found her. Someone who knows exactly who she used to be. And what she did to survive.
