Description
Ruth Butterham is a young woman on trial for murder, while Dorothea Truelove is a wealthy and beautiful young woman with a fascination for phrenology. When Dorothea visits Oakgate Prison, she is drawn to Ruth, a teenage seamstress with a dark past. As Dorothea explores the connection between the shape of a person's skull and their darkest crimes, she begins to suspect that Ruth's crimes may be linked to a supernatural power inherent in her stitches. This chilling tale of murder, madness, and redemption will keep you guessing until the very end.
