In the second book in Tessa Harris's Dr Thomas Silkstone series, THE DEAD SHALL NOT REST, the doctor returns to put his forensic knowledge and investigative skills to work as he battles his rival, Dr John Hunter, who is eager to examine and ultimately dissect (for research) the corpse of eight foot tall Charles Byrne, also known as the Irish Giant.  As Silkstone struggles to protect Byrne and to uncover his own hidden secrets, Hunter is implicated in the death of a young castrato, and Silkstone’s betrothed, Lady Lydia Farrell breaks off their engagement without explanation, leading him into a maze of the blackest hearts. The amazing story is based on real characters and real events.
