520 At Christmastide, 1827, in a boarding house in Edinburgh's
West Port, an old army pensioner dies of natural causes.
He owes the landlord £4 rent. Instead of burying the body
, the landlord, William Hare, and his friend William Burke
fill the coffin with bark and sell the corpse to Dr Robert
Knox, an ambitious anatomist. They make a profit of
£3.10s. After this encouraging outcome, Burke and Hare
decide to suffocate another sickly tenant. So begins the
criminal career of the most notorious double act in the
history of serial murder. In this third edition of his
acclaimed book, Owen Dudley Edwar.
