The Bodyman

William Hagan is Dublin’s anonymous Bodyman who arrives on the scenes of sudden and violent deaths to bag and tag the corpses and remove them to the City Morgue for a post-mortem examination. It’s a job he’s been quietly doing for twenty years, content in the belief that he’s performing a small but important function in the process of justice and a corporal work of mercy. When he turns up on a scene of death to find his daughter’s corpse, all that changes. A year later, his wife has left him, and he lives in an empty house, sharing his life with the ghost of his daughter, Molly. There is a reason why Molly’s soul is not moving on. The reported manner of her death as an accident is a lie. Hagan uncovers that she has been murdered and becomes a vigilante to find those responsible and punish them. His vast working knowledge of investigative procedures, pathology and murder enables him to deal with the guilty undetected.
