A darkly Gothic, unputdownable thriller with shocking secrets and revelations that will grip
you till the very last page.

The truth won’t stay buried.
Neither will Lily.
Resurrected from the grave, she teams up with a body snatcher, Barty, and Timothy, a surgeon’s apprentice and ghost-seer. Forced to battle present dangers and confront dark secrets from the past, they must decide who to trust, what to forgive and just how far they’ll go to discover the truth.
Because some secrets are buried for a reason.

‘Coffin makers, body snatchers and the wronged dead join forces in this thrilling adventure. Mike Lucas conjures a fabulously creepy tale with unforgettable characters – I devoured every electrifying page!’ – award-winning author Catherine Chidgey
