THE RESURRECTION CLUB - Softcover
A dark and clever satire set in Edinburgh from the author of the highly-acclaimed The Pied Piper’s Poison.
Mediocre PR consultant Charles Kidd might just have found his meal ticket. With brilliant, charming new client Peter Dexter’s plans for the ultimate fringe spectacular at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, it would appear that Charles finally has the chance to be somebody, to make a splash.
But in a city whose murky past is filled with graverobbers, mad, murderous scientists, charlatans and showmen, this particular image consultant would do well to look past the sheen of his new star customer, beyond a polished performance which cloaks a more sinister, manipulative purpose...
With consummate skill, Christopher Wallace weaves a tale full of invention, ambiguity, unease and menace.

Review:
Praise for The Pied Piper’s Poison:
‘Quite simply stunning.’
Brian Davis, Time Out
‘This young Edinburgh-based writer is the first discovery of the New Year. A superbly imagined, expertly executed two-stream historical novel, linking early Cold War Europe with the horrific legacy of the Thirty Years War.’
Scotsman
‘A grainy, honest attempt to probe those dark areas we give novelists sanction to investigate. As such, it is both highly ambitious and stunningly successful.’
Peter Whittaker, Independent
