Description

Thief-taker Simon Westow is no stranger to finding stolen goods, but he's never encountered a case like this before. In April 1824, wealthy engineer Joseph Clark hires Simon to track down the men who stole his employee's daughter's buried corpse. As Simon delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers that a gang of body snatchers has been operating in Leeds, selling the dead to medical schools. With the help of his assistant Jane, Simon must uncover the identity of those responsible and bring them to justice. But as they dig deeper, they realize that the Resurrection men are just the tip of a much larger problem. Simon's investigation will take him into the dark underbelly of 19th-century Leeds, where he'll encounter a web of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy everything in its path.
