Description

[Machine Translation] Manhattan, 1850. A wealthy young lady secretly gave birth to a baby girl named Cora, who was diagnosed as having two hearts soon after birth. Since human bodies with rare characteristics were sold at high prices at the time, Cora was raised as a boy named Jacob until the age of 14. This would eliminate the "girl with two hearts. When digging graves, she acts as her twin brother "Jacob" and uses her two different identities. He specializes in bodies with unusual physical characteristics and strange causes of death, in order to be the first to detect when he is targeted. One day, he notices that the people he has marked are not dying of natural causes, but are being murdered one after another. At the same time, rumors of a "girl with two hearts," who once almost disappeared, begin to spread in the city... An astonishing mystery thriller by a medical doctor.

Description in Japanese

ふたつの心臓を持つ少女 / 原タイトル:THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRL (竹書房文庫) / リディア・ケイン/著 桐谷知未/訳

1850年マンハッタン。裕福な令嬢がひそかに出産した女の子コーラは、生後すぐに心臓がふたつあると診断される。当時、めずらしい特徴を持った人体が高値で売買されていたので、コーラは14歳までジェイコブという男の子として育てられた。これで“ふたつの心臓を持つ女の子”はいなくなる。墓掘りの際はふたごの兄“ジェイコブ”としてふるまい、ふたつの人格を使い分けている。珍しい身体的特徴を持った死体や奇妙な死因で亡くなった遺体を専門にするが、それは自分が狙われたときにいち早く察知するためでもあった。あるとき、コーラがマークしている人々が、自然死ではなく次々と殺害されていることに気付く。同時に、一度は消えかけた“ふたつの心臓を持つ女の子”のうわさが街に広がりはじめていた...。医学博士が描く驚愕のミステリ・スリラー。
