“I dunno, ‘Arry,” one of them said, wiping the drop off the end of his nose. “I’m beginning to think as I could make me livin’ purely out o’ this, just buryin’ ‘is lordship. No sooner does we ‘ave ‘im down there as some great fool goes an’ digs ‘im up again!” (p. 76)

Dead, already buried, corpses appear again – and Pitt is searching for the reason of their re-appearance.
Were they murdered? Is something else wrong?
Also some members of the House of Lords have to be persuaded to vote for some bill concerning child labour in workhouses and worse… So we get a look into the poor of Victorian England.

An absolute great story. I decided to try one more Anne Perry, because this one got great recensions at Amazon.com. Glad I did. The best story I read until now (I started with book 1).
