What this book is about
A series of bizarre incidents disturb London: bodies are being exhumed from their graves and deposited in public locations—on doorsteps, in cabs, in the open street. Thomas Pitt investigates what seems like grotesque vandalism and discovers it is connected to a much darker crime. Resurrection Row is one of the early series entries, establishing Perry's Victorian London with characteristic vividness.
