Description

Edinburgh 2039. In this dystopian future, cars drive themselves and robots do the housework. A society with fluid gender norms and polygamy is normalised. Farming animals has been banned, and vast new forests have been planted. However, the rich are wealthier than ever, while the government struggles financially. A terminally ill detective's recording device captures evidence of a sinister plot in Edinburgh's euthanasia facility. His apprentice, PC Justine Claverhouse, receives video files that reveal customers are being used for medical experiments by a shadowy organisation called the Guild. With ethics abandoned in pursuit of knowledge and immortality, PC Claverhouse must bring them to justice before it's too late. This re-imagining of the Burke and Hare story is set against a backdrop of satire, horror, and science fiction. The book builds on plot threads from 'Jacobites by Name' but can be read as a standalone novel.
