hi friends,
In the follwing bold sentence I could not get the verb!
“No matter how much the prisoners were vilified by politicians and the press as filthy dregs and toxic scum: heaps of stick-legged corpses couldn’t be hidden from view. The odd unexplained death, maybe—there had always been the odd unexplained death, said Ed, shrugging—but not heaps.”
thanks
