About the books Digging in the Dark: A History of the Yorkshire Resurrectionists by Ben W. Johnson The resurrection men of Yorkshire came from all walks of life, and employed a myriad of macabre methods to raise their defenceless prey from beneath the consecrated ground. This was a trade which offered great reward, but was definitely not for the faint of heart. Spanning almost three centuries, this grim compendium of tales casts a shadow over the beauty of Yorkshire, a dark veil which reaches out in all directions, threatening the peace of the dearly departed across the length and breadth of the nation’s largest county. Envy and betrayal, exploitation and murder. Set in Bristol as 2018 draws to a close, a chance remark made by a drunk driver results in Chief Superintendent Mark Faraday and Detective Superintendent Kay Yin leading Operation Black Water to investigate a brutal and obscene ‘cold case’ murder. Hampered by a web of corruption and against a background of betrayal and disloyalty, the heinous excesses of the German SS and the mafia, the officers’ enquiries take them to Jersey during the German occupation of 1943 and across the Great Karoo to the diamond fields of South Africa.
