Corrupt bodies : death and dirty dealing in a London morgue / Peter Everett and Kris Hollington.

“Landing the role of superintendent of the UK’s biggest murder mortuary early in his career, Peter Everett had no idea what he let himself in for. On his very first day he discovered that Southwark, operating in near-Victorian’s conditions, was a hotbed of corruption. His staff stole from the dead and there was a lively trade in stolen body parts and recycled coffins. Working with Scotland Yard, Peter took it upon himself to clean up his mortuary, going undercover and testifying against colleagues. Here he reveals the full story for the first time, painting a vivid picture of life in London’s death industry, and the toll that the job eventually took.” Provided by Publisher.
