To the horror of young gravedigger, Ned, bodysnatchers have been

But sixteen-year-old Obedience has troubles of her own: her loving
but overbearing father, and his wish to see her married to a
rich man of science, Phineas Mordaunt.
When Mordaunt starts to poke his nose into her family history
- in particular, the ruinous research of late Uncle Herbert
- Obedience enters into a dangerous game with Death, and Ned
might be the only person who can save her ...

up in a delicious Gothic mystery
