"""I felt I was eavesdropping on genuine 19th-century grave robbers . . . the author's skilled prose . . . convinced me. I felt I was there in the rough and tumble streets of 1830s London. Grotesque, pathetic, yet with poignant moments of calm and welcome humour."" -TRACY CHEVALIER ""This book is a masterpiece ... Some Rise by Sin is a dark dark book, though often hilarious, and with a masterful voice. Buy this book immediately."" -NICK MAMATAS ""Siôn Scott-Wilson seems very much to be a writer after my own heart. Some Rise By Sin proved pretty much impossible to put down ... masterfully plotted and presented, with indelible characters."" -ALAN MOORE"
