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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45495953096855,"sku":"9781511851626","price":1418.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781511851626.webp?v=1767153006","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-murder-organ-9781511851626","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
