Resurrection Row It was the most incredible thing: A corpse driving an empty hansom cab through the foggy streets of a London evening. And it wasn’t just any corpse but the body of a peer of the realm. This was sheer lunacy. Who on earth would want to unearth a decently buried old chap like Lord Augustus Fitzrey-Hammond?
The doctor insisted that his death had been natural. But there was noting natural about this as far as the police were concerned. Inspector Pitt was determined to reveal the truth, but even he was unprepared for the horrors of greed and exploitation that lay in store. ‘the author distributes delicacies like sweetmeats at a funeral – best savoured for their morbid aftertaste’ New York Times Book Review

Callander Square Second in the Inspector Pitt series of popular Victorian murder mysteries.
Murders just didn't happen in fashionable, respectable areas like Callander Square - and yet there had been two in a short space of time. The police were baffled. But Charlotte Pitt was curious.
Inspector Pitt's well-bred wife had not formed the habit of meddling in her husband's business, but something about this case intrigued her - to the point where she found herself prying into the intimate secrets of the, very rich, hearing backstairs gossip that would shock a barmaid and unearthing truths that could push even the most proper aristocrat to murder… 'This rewarding series has profound appeal' New York Times Book Review
