Praise for Mary Malloy’s work:“A tour de force—fascinating, highly readable, and meticulously researched.”—Nathaniel Philbrick“Meticulously researched and engagingly written.”—Seattle Times“In the tradition of Byatt’s Possession, Malloy’s debut novel is a complex and masterfully woven tale that will keep readers up far into the night.”—Caroline Preston, author of Jackie by Josie and Gatsby’s GirlHistorian Lizzie Manning didn’t set out to become a sleuth, and she had no intention of becoming personally involved in a medieval mystery. Her expertise lay in eighteenth-century maritime voyages, and her assignment was to find a Tlingit Indian corpse robbed from its grave two hundred years ago during Captain Cook’s Pacific voyage.
