The late 19th century was the golden age of scientific quackery, and the American West was its motherlode. Daniel Spurlock, a mentally troubled Texas orphan, turns to phrenology for clues to his brain's mysteries. His phrenological skill leads to a lucrative practice, and his discovery of the "murder organ" - the part of the human brain that instills both a predilection and a talent for homicide - brings him to the forefront of the emerging field of forensic science. But an ill-considered marriage proposal to his invaluable assistant, a disastrous pilgrimage to the Italian castle of a reckless brain surgeon, and phrenology's waning popularity shatter his carefully nurtured equilibrium and reduce him to private detective work. Called to Chicago to assist in a sensational murder trial, Spurlock comes face to face with the limits of science and reason, and the hard truths of fickle love and frontier justice.

Alan Lewis was born in Brooklyn, grew up in suburban New Jersey and Maryland, and has lived for many years in San Francisco. He has worked in journalism, political consulting, advertising, and corporate communications, and enjoys travel, beer, John Barth books, and making loud noises on electric guitars. His other novels include Wrestling with Girls and The Fascination Parlor.
