The Minutes of the Lazarus Club by Tony Pollard

The Minutes of the Lazarus Club by Tony Pollard

London, 1857 – the Lazarus Club. Some of the finest, most-unconventional minds in Victorian Britain – including Charles Darwin, Charles Babbage and Isambard Kingdom Brunel – are members of this illustrious brotherhood. Their meetings take place behind closed doors, their discussions are revolutionary and their conclusions sometimes forbidden… Knowing nothing of this secret society, Dr George Phillips, a young and ambitious surgeon, is intrigued to encounter Brunel over a well-used cadaver in the gory pit of his dissection theatre. It soon becomes apparent that the great engineer has mysterious plans for the good doctor. And so Phillips becomes embroiled in the enigmatic machinations of the Lazarus Club, unaware that in the midst of their unorthodox club, a black conspiracy lurks. Not only is his own life in jeopardy, but as the first mutilated body is washed up on the banks of the Thames so the very foundations of Victorian society are set to be rocked to their core…
