As the gownsmen return to Cambridge for Michaelmas term in 1828, university constable Gregory Hardiman is called to a gruesome discovery on a coach from Great Yarmouth. His questions take him to the new School of Anatomy on Queen’s Lane, where medical students watch dissections – and the demand for fresh bodies creates an unsavoury trade.
Meanwhile, valuables are going missing at the Hoop Inn. When one of Gregory’s friends is suspected of being involved, the constable has to decide where his loyalties lie. And as he realises that any future happiness depends on facing his past, Gregory steels himself for a difficult confession.
