Morgan Delaney: A Grave & Dreadful Business, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Bury them. Sell them. Lose them. But you can't keep a good dead body down.

Seeking their fortune in Dublin - there's sod all fortune anywhere else in 18th century Ireland - the unflappable Thaddeus Aicke and the loquacious Cuno Bowen find work guarding a legendary graveyard. And selling its dead to unscrupulous anatomists. Until dark fairy magic accidentally returns one dead girl to life...

Watched by the police-and the jealous Fairy Queen-the enterprising pair enlist their friends, the enormous Doyal and the alluring Madame Furey, to scour the streets for the missing body. They can't let anyone else find her. Especially not their best client-the dead girl's father...

But the wretched, rain-drenched streets are filled with criminal gangs, desperate police constables, and the deceased's suspicious family members. Which is fine. No bother. Grand. As long as the Fairy Queen doesn't discover they've been selling the bodies she spent centuries collecting...

Aicke and Bowen have one week to discover the dead girl's fate. Otherwise, they'll be joining her.
