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.
