AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The Dead House is set in Sydney in the nineteenth century. Henry Parkes has asked Florence Nightingale for trained nurses to reform the chaotic and often filthy hospital conditions in the fledgling colony.
'Six nurses arrive to establish the Nightingale system of nursing at the City Infirmary. Within this setting, Electra Flynn faces murder, exploitation and mystery as women disappear and relationships struggle under the oppressive regime.' (Publisher's blurb)
