Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her dear friend, Lady Kiera Darby is in need of a safe haven. Returning to her childhood home, Kiera hopes her beloved brother, Trevor, and the merriment of the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death. While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the difference in solving the case.

Following the death of her husband, Lady Kiera Darby has taken refuge at her sister's Scottish estate. At a party for the cream of London society, Kiera finds that her past life continues to haunt her. When one of the guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks to to use her knowledge of human anatomy to aid in the inquiry. Soon the search for the murderer leads to even more gruesome discoveries and Kiera finds that her life may be in danger.
