About the book

"William Burke and William Hare aided inquisitive Scottish surgeons who competed for anatomical breakthroughs by experimenting on human corpses. This account not only explores the work of the resurrectionists, it reflects the nature of serial killers, 1820s criminal law, and Edinburgh's early role as a seat of European medical research"--Provided by publisher.
