"Agatha DeLacey's family isn't rich or titled, so studying nursing at Ingold's East End hospital in London is a rare opportunity for her. Despite the school's focus on the innovative Bio-Mechanical program, Aggie cares more about the desperately poor human patients who flood the hospital, even if that means providing unauthorized treatment after-hours . . . and trusting a charming, endlessly resourceful thief. But the Artful Dodger is barely a step ahead of his underworld rivals, the menacing Bill Sykes and mercurial Oliver Twist, and Aggie's association with him soon leads her into danger"--Provided by publisher.
