A museum archivist's deadly expertise in Victorian death rituals becomes the key to catching a serial killer-or the evidence that condemns her.

Helena Marsh knows more about Victorian mourning customs than almost anyone alive. Her autism gives her an extraordinary gift for cataloging the intricate details of 19th-century funeral practices-the symbolism in mourning jewelry crafted from human hair, the strict hierarchy of Victorian burial processions, the language spoken through funeral flowers. Most people consider her fascination with post-mortem photography and death rituals unsettling. Helena considers it scholarship. But when bodies start appearing across Boston, each one meticulously arranged as a flawless reproduction of Victorian mourning scenes, her specialized knowledge stops being academic and starts being incriminating. The killer recreates historical death displays with terrifying accuracy-mirror draping to trap departed spirits, jet bead wreaths following authentic Victorian techniques, bodies positioned exactly as they appear in centuries-old photographs. These aren't random staging choices. They're details only an expert would recognize, the kind of historical precision that points directly to Helena's world. This psychological thriller featuring an autistic detective consultant plunges readers into a gripping mystery where neurodivergent pattern recognition becomes both weapon and liability, where special interests transform into criminal evidence, and where understanding death might be the only path to preventing murder.
