Her expertise lay in eighteenth-century maritime voyages, and her assignment was to find a Tlingit Indian corpse robbed from its grave two hundred years ago during Captain Cook\u0026rsquo;s Pacific voyage. First accident, then compulsion, pull her deeper into the past, through thirty generations of one British family. Lizzie\u0026rsquo;s sources aren\u0026rsquo;t fingerprints and firearms, but documents, artifacts, paintings, architecture, and even the landscape\u0026mdash;though modern forensic science helps clarify what happened to a few ancient corpses. Lizzie\u0026rsquo;s work takes on personal meaning as she is drawn into her own family\u0026rsquo;s history of insanity and a search for a Crusader\u0026rsquo;s disembodied heart.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with Elizabeth Peters\u0026rsquo; Amelia Peabody and Amanda Cross\u0026rsquo; Kate Fansler, Mary Malloy creates a heroine who is a respected scholar in her field, and who draws on her expertise to solve the mysteries that come her way.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cB\u003eMary Malloy, PhD\u003c/B\u003e, is the author of four maritime history books. She is a professor of maritime history at Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and of museum studies at Harvard University.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e |
