Notorious Murders, Black Lanterns & Moveable Goods by Deborah A. Symonds is subtitled The Transformation of Edinburgh's Underworld in the Early 19th Century. The book explores how the commercialization and policing of Edinburgh uncovered and changed the criminal underworld. The book features notorious figures like William Burke and William Hare who, in the year 1828, along with their wives, murdered nearly a score of Edinburgh's poor and sold their bodies. More examples of entrepreneur criminals such as thieves who ransacked warehouses, leads the author to theorize that this was a shadow economy where crimes happened not because of economic misery but because it was the criminals trade.
