"Dead March opens in March of 1861. The Civil War is about to open and Virginia is getting ready to secede. A young widow, Narcissa Powers, lives with her brother in rural Virginia. She receives a letter asking her to quickly come to Richmond. Another brother, Charley, is a student at the Medical College of Virginia and he has contracted a fatal infection. He is being cared for in the house of one of his professors. One of the servants in the house slips a disturbing letter into Narcissa's Bible. The letter was written by Charley and intended for his sister. In it, he asks her help in a serious matter. At the medical school, Charley discovered that one of the cadavers used for teaching purposes was actually a murder victim. But the question remains--are the grave robbers, or "resurrection men" responsible for this, or was the murder caused by one of the doctors? Narcissa decides to volunteer at Chimborazo Hospital as a way to discover the truth..." [from a synopsis]
