A dark night, a graveyard and the suspicion of murder... The Body Snatcher is one of Robert Louis Stevenson’s most chilling tales. After many years, a chance encounter between two former medical students forces them to recall their sinister past and foul play that was better left buried. Perfect for long winter nights, these stories have been specially selected to create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. Read by Roy McMillan, with Naxos AudioBooks’s trademark of carefully chosen music.

She was a deft woman with her hands…
Late in the morning her husband woke her…
Now there was an old brutal Haole drinking…
Now, the money that Kaewe had taken…
