I middelalderens Cambridge er fire barn brutalt myrdet. Henrik II håper at en nøye utført etterforskning skal avdekke hvem morderen er, og derfor ber han sin fetter, Kongen av Sicilia - hvis undersåtter inkluderer de fremste ekspertene innen legevitenskapen i Europa - om å sende ham sin beste "mester i de dødes kunst", hvilket på den tiden tilsvarte våre patologer. Kongen får tilsendt den italienske legen Adelia – en "kvinnelig mester i de dødes kunst". I et tilbakestående og overtroisk land som England møter Adelia farer overalt. Mens hun undersøker de døde kroppene og langsomt avdekker deres siste skritt, må hun skjule sin virkelige identitet for å unngå beskyldninger om hekseri.

Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
