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.
