The Resurrectionist

James Bradley2008
London, 1826: Leaving behind his father's 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. But instead he finds himself drawn to his master's nemesis, Lucan. Dismissed by Mr Poll, Gabriel descends into the violence and corruption of London's underworld. Ten years later, another man teaches art in the penal colony of New South Wales. But as becomes clear when he falls in love with one of his pupils, no one may escape their past forever. A stark, sinister and compelling gothic thriller.
