An extra corpse turns up in a tomb. How are they connected—and who’s next?February 1858. Civil war looms as scientific frontiers are rapidly expanding. Harvard botanist Asa Gray, who fervently supports Charles Darwin in believing all humans are variants of one species, is discerning odd patterns among his new botanical specimens. Gray’s findings set him at odds with Louis Agassiz, the most celebrated man in American science, who believes that the races of humankind represent separate species—a popular notion in the slave-owning South. Meanwhile, the bodies pile up. Behind the Boston murders lie shadows of family secrets, lost siblings, and connections of blood, love, and vengeance.The Strangers' Tomb is Book 1 of the Murder at the Cemetery Series and is available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Strangers-Tomb-Murder-Cemetery-Book-ebook/dp/B019G8YPVG Show less
