Description
Lady Darby returns to London with her new husband, but newlywed bliss won't last for long. Kiera Darby's past comes back to haunt her in this latest installment in the series. A gang of body snatchers is arrested on suspicion of imitating notorious Edinburgh criminals, Burke and Hare. The evidence suggests that "burkers" are at work in London, leaving the populace horrified and ready to take out their anger on any likely suspect. Kiera receives a letter of blackmail, threatening to divulge details about her late anatomist husband's involvement with the body snatchers and wrongfully implicate her. As Kiera navigates this precarious situation, she must also investigate the murder of a young nobleman found dead in his home. Is it a failed attempt by the London burkers or the crime of someone closer to home?
