Adventures in Life and Death. Grave Importance, #1

Doctor Linnea Lyons has it all. She is beautiful, intelligent, witty, and charming. All the things a young woman needs to get her way in 1870. Tasked with procuring a cadaver for her surgical studies, Linnea decides to use her womanly charms to get what she wants. A visit to the morgue when only the Deputy Coroner, Doctor Cyril Rhodes is on duty, she asks him to allow her to watch his embalming process.
Cyril is enthralled with the dark-haired beauty. After all, it is a rarity to meet a female doctor, let alone one studying the art of surgery. Linnea senses the good doctor is a bit lonely and perhaps an easy mark to get what she wants. But will her ambition ultimately be her downfall?
