What Mortal Flesh (en Inglés) - Sion Scott-Wilson

1848. A bad year to be poor, and a worse one to be Irish.

It has been sixteen years since Sammy and Facey hoisted their last corpse. Sammy keeps a quiet Portsmouth tap-room, and Facey hosts his own Soho tavern. But when an Irish widow's body is spirited from her bed at St Thomas' hospital, the two erstwhile resurrection men are dragged back into the cadaver trade.

As Sammy's daughter Lily steps into a future of her own, and old enemies they assumed long gone prove very much alive, Sammy and Facey come to a final reckoning. What will it cost two old grave robbers to bury the dead for good?
