When you come across the line which includes your favorite body snatchers tracing back dark Edinburgh when cadavers were of scarcity and humanity on verge of extinction, your day is complete. William Burke and William Hare were prominent figures of medical crime history known for their series of body snatching and murders to supply mad Dr. Knox anatomical subjects, which , were thoroughly depleting during the times when there were few cretins to be hung in prison. Thomas Harris is a real good writer and I like this whole idea of including characters that were part of history or so naming characters after one of them. Let's just hope Hare isn't as sneaky as Hare in reality. :) Finishing this book.
