... a clever exercise in historical recreation and, implicitly, a disturbing fable about scientific arrogance (SUNDAY TIMES)
Excellent. It's the first book I've read this year which ought to go straight on to the Booker shortlist for its intelligent writing, original plot and remarkable grasp of historical details and language (DAILY MAIL)
An impressively imaginative approach to history & a wry tale of a young man who is, to the last, sick with love (THE TIMES)
Atmospheric and action packed. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Early eighteenth-century London, and two doctors are criss-crossing the boundaries of morality in the heady pursuit of scientific progress. It is a challenge that leads Sir Edmund Calcraft, an eminent and notorious anatomist, and Joseph Bendix, his young ambitious student, into playing a dark game with the lawless side of London. But Bendix's growing passion for a woman he first glimpses in Calcraft's house threatens to end their mutual quest. From gallows to mad houses, from anatomical laboratories to frost fairs set on the frozen Thames, the two men begin to compete in both head and heart...
Mixing history, myth, medicine and fiction, THE HOUSE OF SIGHT AND SHADOW is a compelling tale about ambition, deception and the vulnerability of love.
