During a routine patrol, police arrest two men in possession of human body parts intended for sale to the dissecting rooms of a London teaching hospital. Bow Street Runner Dan Foster makes the grisly discovery that they are the remains of fellow officer George Kean. The arrested men are charged with Kean's murder, but Dan is not convinced that they are the killers. In pursuit of the real murderer, he investigates the activities of the resurrection men - body snatchers.
The body snatching racket soon leads Dan to something bigger and much more dangerous. In a treacherous underworld of vicious pugilists, ruthless murderers, British spymasters and French agents, Dan must tread carefully - or meet the same terrible fate as Kean.
Indie Brag Medallion Honoree; Chill With a Book Readers' Award; Awesome Indies Books Award. The first Dan Foster Mystery, Bloodie Bones, was joint winner of the Historical Novel Society Indie Award 2016.
