Death isn't always the end...

When Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke is called to investigate a murder at London's prestigious Royal College of Surgeons, she's unprepared for the brutality of the crime. The body of a young woman has been artfully displayed, her organs removed with surgical precision.

As Jamie delves deeper, more bodies surface — each one a twisted reflection of medical history. The investigation leads her into the dark world of body modification, secret anatomical collections, and a mysterious group known only as the Lyceum.

The only person who might be able to help is Blake Daniel, a reluctant psychic whose gift allows him to read the stories behind ancient objects.

Together they must untangle a sinister web of obsession, power, and human experimentation with its roots in the bloody history of surgery. Some collectors will stop at nothing to obtain the specimens they desire...

Perfect for fans of Mo Hayder, Tess Gerritsen and Kathy Reichs, DESECRATION is a gripping crime thriller that blends police procedural with a touch of the supernatural. This dark and twisting tale asks: how far would you go to understand the mysteries of life and death?

If you're drawn to page-turning mysteries with a visceral sense of place and a protagonist who refuses to surrender, dive into this darkly compelling novel—and discover just how far one detective will go to protect what she loves most.
