Bodies (New Edition)

A gripping murder mystery across four eras in London, Bodies (New Edition) intertwines the lives of detectives facing their darkest secrets.

Set against the backdrop of London, Bodies (New Edition) weaves a captivating narrative that spans multiple eras, each marked by its own unique challenges and mysteries. In 1890, the shadow of Jack the Ripper looms large as Inspector Edmond Hillinghead grapples with a perplexing murder case involving an unidentified male victim. As he delves deeper, he risks exposing his own dark secrets, all while navigating a city gripped by fear and suspicion.

Fast forward to 1940, where the Blitz ravages London, and Inspector Charles Whiteman finds himself ensnared in a web of crime that he is supposed to dismantle. Having fled the Nazis, he now faces a murder investigation that could unravel his carefully constructed double life. The pressures of wartime and his own moral dilemmas collide as he seeks to uncover the truth behind the murder.

In 2014, Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan battles not only the growing violence of racist rioters but also the complexities of her identity as a Muslim cop in contemporary England. The discovery of a corpse leads her to confront deeper societal issues. Finally, in 2050, the remnants of a techno-apocalypse reveal an amnesiac woman named Maplewood, who stumbles upon a ritual killing reminiscent of past crimes. The connections across time become increasingly intricate, hinting at a larger, more enigmatic truth that binds them all together. With contributions from talented artists, Bodies (New Edition) is a masterful exploration of murder and mystery through the ages.
