The Space Between Bones - Paperback

by August Keller (Author)

Everyone has a monster and theirs are growing louder.

Magdalena Trudeau has perfected lying through crooked hats and unfastened buttons. Smiles hide the thoughts in her head and water isn't required for drowning. When winter comes swiftly on a three-inch blade and the treatment is a curse, she's left with nothing but scarred memories and an accused man to help her through.

Dr. Ezra Talbot will never forgive himself for the lives he's taken-except for one. Borrowed hope won't be enough to save him from guilt. When his tower of secrets crumbles, will he see it for the staircase it's become or let it bury the truth?

The tables turn in London when men drop dead with rotten hearts. Their sins in the dark are brought to the light and someone's taken it upon themselves to right their wrongs. Abusers of the weak won't be tolerated, and evil learns to fear in this conflicted justice.

There is no antidote for ailments of the mind, and when the gallows swing, Ezra and Magdalena must decide-will this be the end of their journey, or simply the beginning? What if their cure comes to rest in the space between bones?
