A Lady in Shadows by Lene Kaaberbl

A Lady in Shadows by Lene Kaaberbl

Madeleine's inquisitive mind and candid voice are enough to keep us reading. --The New York Times Book Review

New York Times bestselling author Lene Kaaberbol returns with her beloved protagonist Madeleine Karno--an ambitious young woman who shatters the confines of nineteenth century France.

On June 2nd, 1894, in the wake of President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot's assassination, France descends into chaos and riots in the streets of Varbourg. Many lives are lost in the mayhem, but when one lady of the night is found murdered with brutal incisions and no sign of a struggle, it is clear something is amiss. Madeleine Karno must ask herself the terrifying question: Do they have their very own Jack the Ripper in France?

Madeleine is no stranger to cases such as this. Though she is a woman in forensic pathology (a career considered unseemly even for men), her recent work with a string of mysterious deaths and becoming the first female student admitted to the University of Varbroug has earned her some semblance of respect. But there's only so much her physiology courses can do to help her uncover the mysteries of a mad scientist's brutal murders. Madeleine must do whatever it takes--investigate the darkest corners of the city and even work undercover--to track down a murderer at large. But if there's one thing the press has right about Mademoiselle Death, it's this: it takes a woman to find a killer of women.
