The Resurrection Men

Three coffins. Four corpses. Buried secrets do not sleep forever... London, 1888. The city is choking on fog, fear, and whispers of murder. Inspector Morven Flint finds himself drawn into a series of killings as grim as they are grotesque. Each victim is connected by blood to a darker chapter of London's past: the Resurrection Men, the ghoulish body-snatchers who once fed the dissecting tables of the city's medical schools. Now, decades later, their descendants are being hunted down-buried alive, dissected, laid out like specimens-by a killer who believes vengeance has been too long delayed. At the heart of the mystery lies the mystery of a woman who was buried alive, whose name echoes through the shadows like a curse. With his enigmatic companion Edwin Locke at his side, Flint must navigate smoke-choked Whitechapel, unravelling a web that binds anatomy theatres, forgotten graves, and the restless dead. But as the body count mounts, Flint begins to suspect that his associate is not merely mysterious-he may not even be entirely human. At first, the grisly murders are laid at the feet of Jack the Ripper. Yet Flint and Locke know the truth: the Ripper is already dead, slain by Flint himself at terrible cost. A chilling Victorian mystery steeped in Gothic atmosphere, The Case of the Resurrection Men is the opening volume in a new series that blends murder, the supernatural, and the lingering ghosts of London's underworld. The dead don't always rest. Some wait for justice.
