Publisher's Synopsis
When a young couple move into their dream home, they can't wait to remodel the neglected mansion. Until they make a gruesome discovery of a rusted metal strongbox containing two rotting leather doctor's bags. Inside each bag, swaddled in sheets of sixty-year-old newspaper, lies a tiny human skeleton. The most likely culprit is a mysterious woman, employed as private nurse to wealthy families during World War Two and Lieutenant Milo Sturgis consults psychologist Alex Delaware. But the horror is just beginning. Two more bags are discovered, but this time the infants inside have been dead less than a month. Is a copycat at work? Or is there a link between the two finds which goes back decades?
