She is desperate for work and haunted by tragedy after her abusive husband's violent death.

She ust choose between the traditions and loyalty to her family or the uncertain promise of a life lived on her own terms—before fate makes the choice for her.

THE 1800s: John Thomas Reginald Leech, a man of medicine, is driven to murder and mayhem in his quest for respect as a stalwart of medical standing in his day, but only finds ridicule and scorn. Many of his critics meet brutal ends, and his name becomes entangled in discussions alongside London’s most notorious serial killer of that time. But then John Leech dies in a raging fire, or so the world believes.

MODERN-DAY NEW YORK: Now, more than a century later, the soul of John Thomas Reginald Leech awakens, still determined to secure his place in history.
