520    In October 1892, a one-month-old baby boy was found buried
       in the backyard of Sarah and John Makin, two wretchedly 
       poor baby farmers in inner Sydney. In the weeks that 
       followed, 12 more babies were found buried in the 
       backyards of other houses in which the Makins had lived. 
       This resulted in the most infamous trial in Australian 
       legal history, and exposed a shocking underworld of 
       desperate mothers, drugged and starving babies, and a 
       black market in the sale and murder of children. Annie 
       Cossins pieces together a dramatic and tragic tale with 
       larger-than-life characters: theatrical Sarah Makin, her 
       smooth-talking husband John, her disloyal daughter, 
       Clarice, diligent Constable James Joyce with curious 
       domestic arrangements of his own, and a network of baby 
       farmers stretching across the city. It's a glimpse into a 
       society that preferred to turn a blind eye to the fate of 
       its most vulnerable members, only a century ago.
