Resurrectionist
From the internationally acclaimed author of Wrack and The Deep Field comes a gothic thriller that is absolutely unputdownable!
London, 1826: Gabriel Swift has left behind his father's failures 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 his master, 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.
Ten years later, another man teaches art in the penal colony of New South Wales, his spare time spent trapping and painting birds. But as becomes clear when he falls in love with one of his pupils, no one may escape their past forever, and the worst prisons are often those we make for ourselves.
Stark, sinister and compelling, The Resurrectionist is both a gothic thriller and a triumphant follow-up to his internationally acclaimed Wrack and The Deep Field. It confirms James Bradley as one of the most exciting and ambitious novelists working today.
