In a city ruled by faith, knowledge is the deadliest heresy of all.
Seville, 1625. In the golden heart of the Spanish Empire, a shadow has fallen. A series of gruesome, inexplicable deaths grips the city, and the Holy Inquisition points to a single culprit: the Devil. As fear turns to fanaticism, a witch hunt is ignited, and the pyres are readied.
But Catalina de Ribera, a young widow known for her piety and charity, harbors a dangerous secret. In the solitude of her study, she is an anatomist, a student of the forbidden science of the human body. When she recognizes the tell-tale signs of a potent, man-made poison in the victims, she knows the witchcraft is a lie-a cover for a brilliant and ruthless human killer.
Her silent pursuit of the truth leads her to an impossible ally: MatÃas de la Serna, a notary of the Holy Office, a man tormented by the very system he serves. Bound by a fragile trust, the woman of science and the man of law must navigate a labyrinth of conspiracy that reaches from the city's darkest alleys to the highest echelons of power.
As they follow the killer's trail, they uncover a secret worth killing for, a plot that could shatter the city. With the Inquisition closing in and a murderer who hides behind superstition, Catalina and MatÃas must fight for the truth-a truth that could cost them not only their lives, but their very souls.
Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and S.J. Parris, The Shadow Anatomist is a gripping historical thriller where science clashes with faith, and two unlikely heroes must risk everything to unmask a killer in a world drowning in lies.
