Publisher's Synopsis
Two teenagers claim to have seen a dead man rise from his grave in a London park. And if that is not alarming enough, one of them is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Arthur Bryant is not allowed to investigate. Instead, he is looking into how someone stole the ravens from the Tower of London. As they explore further, detectives Bryant and May confront a group of latter-day body-snatchers, visit an eerie funeral parlour and unearth the gruesome legend of Bleeding Heart Yard. Rich in strange characters and steeped in London's true history, this is Bryant and May's most peculiar case of all.
