Burke and Hare: The Year of the GhoulsPublished in August is BURKE AND HARE: The Year of the Ghouls (184018 5759) by Brian Bailey. This tells of early nineteenth-century Edinburgh which was gripped by fear of body snatchers. Burke and Hare were serial killers who sold their victims to the medical school for dissection. They murdered at least 16 innocent victims, including a 12-year old boy, in the name of medical science. Bailey reveals a sordid side to a society which was famed for its intellectual and progressive thinking, yet depended on predatory criminals for the advance of medial knowledge. A compulsive and absorbing book that is available to buy from our site now.
