Book excerpt: On the 7th of February 1829 the notorious Irish mass murderer and 'resurrectionist' William Hare (of Burke and Hare infamy) was freed from a Scottish gaol, put on a coach to Carlisle, left on the roadside there and subsequently disappeared from human view as if he had never existed. His fellow conspirator and provider of fresh 'meat' for the Edinburgh surgeons' operating tables had earlier been hanged, but fearing the mob's vengeance, the authorities had freed Hare hoping he would vanish forever, little knowing that his name along with the nature of his terrible crimes would reverberate and live on even if his subsequent history did not. 'Seeking Mr Hare' takes up the story where our pariah flees his past through the Northern English countryside and finally across to Ireland.
