Sinopsi

ThereâÇÖs a supernatural war brewing for control of the Second City of the British EmpireGlasgow 1893. Wilton Hunt, a student, and Tam Foley, a laudanum-addicted pharmacist, are pursuing extra-curricular careers as body snatchers, or âÇÖresurrection menâÇÖ, under cover of darkness. They exhume a girlâÇÖs corpse, only for it to disappear while their backs are turned. Confused and in need of the money the body would have earnt them, they investigate the corpseâÇÖs disappearance. They discover that bodies have started to turn up in the area with ripped-out throats and severe loss of blood, although not the one they lost. The police are being encouraged by powerful people to look the other way, and the deaths are going unreported by the press. As Hunt and Foley delve beneath the veneer of respectable society, they find themselves entangled in a dangerous underworld that is protected from scrutiny by the rich and powerful members of the elite but secretive Sooty Feathers Club.áMeanwhile, a mysterious circus arrives in the middle of the night, summoned as allies to help avenge a betrayal two centuries old...Resurrection Men is the first book in David CraigâÇÖs Sooty Feathers series, a masterful gothic tale about a supernatural war for control of the Second City of the British Empire, and the struggle of flawed characters of uncertain virtue who try to avert it. It is set in a late 19th century Glasgow ruled by undead - from the private clubs, town houses and country manors of the privileged to the dung-choked wynds and overcrowded slums of the poor. Undead unrest, a fallen angel, and religious zealots intent on driving out the forces of evil, set the stage for a diabolical conflict of biblical proportions.
