Dr Lucien Blake left Ballarat as a young man. But now he finds himself returning to take over his dead father's medical practice. And one of the unwanted duties his father left him is the on-call role of police surgeon. Set in the gothic gold rush town of Ballarat in 1959. The wealth that built its grand architecture is long gone - but not the mysteries, murder and deceit that linger beneath the surface of its faded glory.
