Viac o knihe

A courageous doctor and his apprentice strive to save London's poor while uncovering the chilling realities of human nature in this gripping holiday mystery. Scuff, once a penniless orphan, now studies medicine at a free clinic run by Dr. Crowe. Recently, Crowe has become distracted after witnessing a troubling altercation involving Ellie, a former patient he loved, and her controlling fiancé. It appears Ellie is being coerced into marriage, prompting Crowe to investigate the unsettling connections between her, her father, and her betrothed. With Crowe preoccupied just weeks before the holidays, Scuff finds himself alone, performing surgeries on the city's vulnerable population. Desperate for assistance, he takes in a needy girl named Mattie, offering her shelter in exchange for help with his medical duties. Together, they must manage the clinic while evading the police, who are suspicious of Crowe's amateur sleuthing. As they navigate these challenges, the stakes rise: can Crowe rescue Ellie, and will Scuff and Mattie ensure that they and their patients can enjoy a peaceful Christmas?
