A dark gothic style story set around the anatomists of London in the early 1800’s. We follow the demise of Gabriel Swift as he becomes embroiled in a world of opium and body snatchers. Bradley evokes a dark, dingy, sinister London with characters as brooding and grim as their surroundings and the reader can only sit back and watch as Gabriel makes his descent in to this gory underworld.
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.
