Synopsis from Amazon:-
'This book is set in London, 1826. Leaving behind his father's tragic failures, Gabriel Swift arrives to study with Edwin Poll, the greatest of the city's anatomists. It is his chance to find advancement by making a name for himself. But instead he finds himself drawn to his master's nemesis, Lucan, the most powerful of the city's resurrectionists and ruler of its trade in stolen bodies. Dismissed by Mr Poll, Gabriel descends into the violence and corruption of London's underworld, a place where everything and everyone is for sale, and where - as Gabriel discovers - the taking of a life is easier than it might seem.'

This is an odd one in that it should be very good, but it isn't. I felt it started off in a very promising fashion but by half way through it becomes very rushed and the plot becomes far-fetched. Nothing is explained and the characters are not developed. The result left me feeling very confused and jangled my nerves. This book could have been so creepy, and I think that James Bradley can write but the end result is woeful. Gets very bad reviews on Amazon too. And the end section is odd.
Struggled to finish it to be honest.
