THE WAGES OF SIN
Book ID/图书代码： 13077016B87311
English Summary/英文概要： Sarah Gilchrist has fled London in disgrace. She is an intelligent young woman and determined to become a doctor, despite the misgivings of her family and society. But even though the University of Edinburgh’s medical school finally opens its doors to women in 1892, Sarah quickly finds that the lecturers refuse to teach their new students, their male contemporaries want to make their lives hell and – perhaps worst of all – her fellow women will do anything to avoid being associated with a fallen woman…
Desperate for a proper education, Sarah turns to one of the city’s ramshackle charitable hospitals for additional training. The St Giles’ Infirmary for Women ministers to the downtrodden and drunk, the thieves and whores with nowhere else to go. But when Lucy, one of Sarah’s patients, turns up in the university dissecting room as a battered corpse, Sarah finds herself drawn into a murky underworld of bribery, brothels and body snatchers.
Painfully aware of just how little separates her own life from that of her former patient’s, Sarah is determined to find out what happened to Lucy and bring those responsible for her death to justice. But as she searches for answers in Edinburgh’s dank alleyways, bawdy houses and fight clubs, Sarah comes closer and closer to uncovering one of Edinburgh’s most lucrative trades, and in doing so puts her own life at risk…
