The Infamous Burke and Hare: Serial Killers and Resurrectionists of Nineteenth Century Edinburgh
R. Michael Gordon
Body snatchers and grave robbers were the stuff of Victorian lore, but two real-life culprits took the crimes out of shadowy cemeteries and into criminal court. This title explores the work of the Resurrectionists, and shows the nature of serial killers, 1820s criminal law, and Edinburgh's early role as a seat of European medical research.
