<DIV><DIV><b>Bodies that won&rsquo;t stay buried&mdash;is it a practical joke? Or murder?</b></div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Lord Fitzroy-Hammond of Resurrection Row has been dead and buried three weeks when he turns up sitting atop a hansom cab. Grave robbing, though a crime, isn&rsquo;t Inspector Thomas Pitt&rsquo;s usual fare. But when the macabre joke is repeated, and the man&rsquo;s corpse is found sitting in the family pew the Sunday following his second interment, Pitt begins to wonder if perhaps there&rsquo;s some message in it. The case grows increasingly bizarre as other disinterred bodies appear.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>A new mother, Charlotte Pitt only takes a cursory interest in the grave robbing case until she hears Thomas mention the name of her late sister&rsquo;s husband, Dominic Corde, as a possible suspect. As Pitt follows leads into the slums and rookeries, Charlotte, too, is drawn into the politics and horrors of greed and exploitation.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>For Pitt and Charlotte, what begins as a mysterious case of musical corpses, becomes a deadly pursuit through the London underworld of pornographic photographers, brothels, and sweatshops.</div></div>
