Brock Blennerhasset makes a living out of photographing the dead in Victorian Ireland. When a series of murders threatens to sully Blennerhasset's reputation, a tenacious detective drags him into an investigation of Dublin's criminal underbelly. Set within the fascinating historical period of post-mortem portraiture, this darkly comic series blends murder mystery with delightfully macabre humour. |
