وصف الكتاب	In late 17th Century London rich young women are being kidnapped, then murdered. Harry Hunt, formerly of the Royal Society but now a rich gentleman, is falsely accused. To clear his name, he must rely on his abandoned scientific expertise and batt
عن المؤلف	Robert Lloyd, the son of parents who worked in the British Foreign Office, grew up in South London, Innsbruck, and Kinshasa. He studied for a Fine Art degree, starting as a landscape painter, but it was while studying for his MA degree in the History of Ideas that he first read Robert Hooke's diary, detailing the life and experiments of this extraordinary man. After a twenty-year career as a secondary school teacher, he has now returned to painting and writing, and is working on the fourth book in the Hunt and Hooke series. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. An opportunity had arisen. A woman had ended her own life at Bethlehem Hospital. No family wanting her, the Hospital gave her body to the Royal Society of London for the Improving of Natural Knowledge―or, rather, to its Secretary, Mr. Robert Hooke. He was friendly with Bethlehem’s Physician, and had, after all, designed the place. Hooke summoned the Fellows. About thirty of them gathered at Gresham College, jostling by the entrance to its repository. Even in the shade of the colonnaded walkway, most stood hatless and holding their coats, for the midday sun was remorseless. Sweat darkened the backs of their waistcoats as they waited for admittance. Some had removed their perukes. Hooke promised an extraordinary demonstration. # All their talk was of the forthcoming dissection. It was to be performed upstairs in the repository―more spacious than the anatomy room, or the Reading Hall, where most of the Society’s experimental trials took place. Hooke expected more Fellows than usual; he was right. Led by Sir Christopher Wren himself, the trial would reveal a brain and spinal cord.
