1848. A bad year to be poor, and a worse one to be Irish.

It has been sixteen years since Sammy and Facey hoisted their last co**se. Sammy keeps a quiet Portsmouth tap-room, and Facey hosts his own Soho tavern. But when an Irish widow’s body is spirited from her bed at St Thomas’ hospital, the two erstwhile resurrection men are dragged back into the cadaver trade.

As Sammy’s daughter Lily steps into a future of her own, and old enemies they assumed long gone prove very much alive, Sammy and Facey come to a final reckoning. What will it cost two old grave robbers to bury the dead for good?

Attention Siôn Scott-Wilson ( ) fans! The Sammy & Facey series stormed into the world in September 2021 with SOME RISE BY SIN, where we met the charming “resurrection men” as they tried desperately to get out of the industry but got sucked back in for one last job…

In 2023 we met up with Sammy and Facey again in WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND, when a kidnapping forced them back into an underworld they hoped they’d never encounter again.

Now, on 25 September 2026, 5 years after it all started, Sammy and Facey and everyone you’ve grown to adore—or detest—have come back for the final book in the trilogy: WHAT MORTAL FLESH. 16 years after the men hoisted their last co**se, the body of an Irish widow goes missing. What happens next forces them into a final reckoning.

What will it cost two old grave robbers to bury the dead for good?

🌊✨ OUT NOW ✨🌊

A Calamity of Waters is officially out today! Happy publication day to 📖

JANUARY 1607. THE SEVERN VALLEY. THE GREATEST FLOOD IN LIVING MEMORY.

Habren has never quite forgiven herself. Her father only sings b***y carols for farthings these days, none of the sweet songs he used to sing their mother, and perhaps it’s no wonder her sisters Syble and Margret have put many leagues between themselves and their old home.

But then Syble summons her to Gloucester, and if Habren can keep on the right side of their pin merchant master, perhaps it’s the chance she needs to make up for the past.

Then the river rises. In a single January morning, the Severn floods the vale and upends every life in it. And somewhere down that swollen estuary is Ambrose, the man Habren loves.

With Syble and new friend Raynould beside her, Habren sets out for Bristol to find him, through a city the flood has torn apart. And as they search, secrets they have kept close to their hearts begin, one by one, to surface.

Is A Calamity of Waters on your radar? 🌊
