HAWKWOOD IS BACK. Death was their business but one grave robber was about to come closer to his trade than he would have wished. His violent murder brings the city′s band of body snatchers to the attention of one Matthew Hawkwood, Bow Street Runner, a man whose past is as dark as his quarry′s. Another term at London′s anatomy schools has brought demand for fresh corpses, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control. For there is competition among these "resurrection men": a new gang of criminals whose brutality shocks even Hawkwood. Delving deep into the world of the country′s foremost anatomists, Hawkwood learns of bizarre experiments at the literal cutting edge of technology. But nothing will prepare him for the horrifying truth that lies at the outer reaches of science and nature...
