A rogue surgeon is about to be offered the opportunity of someone else's lifetime. An artist's model and aristocrat's mistress is about to discover even seedier underbellies than she's ever dreamed of in her already troubled imaginings. Elsewhere, righteous fury is brewing beneath the streets of the city, and almost every single horror has the stamp of one mysterious man upon it.

This is London as you've never seen it before and hopefully never will again: a world where Lamarckian inheritance is real, where nightmares and desires are satisfied with the flick of a surgeon's knife--if you can afford it.
