(2023)(A book in the Dr Margaret Demeray series)
An omnibus of novels by Paula Harmon
Dr Margaret Demeray: pathologist, suffragette, campaigner. Independent, proud, skilled and maybe just a little bit bored. Until now.
The Wrong Sort To Die
London 1910. Men are dying. All Dr Margaret Demeray wants is justice. But when she meets Fox, all she gets is danger.
Fighting for respect in a man's world, Dr Margaret Demeray is approached by a stranger called Fox to help find out what’s killed a pauper. Tempted by a desire for justice, Margaret tells him what she knows but shortly afterwards, her friend disappears, a second body is found in suspicious circumstances and Fox says he believes she has the key to work things out before anyone else dies - including Margaret herself. Who can she trust? And how come the closer she gets to Fox, the more danger she faces?
Death In The Last Reel
London 1911. Rich man, daydreamer, anarchist, spy. Someone wants to bomb the capital. How can Margaret and Fox find out who they are, before it’s too late?
After the violent murder of three policemen in the line of duty, tensions between London constabulary and Whitechapel anarchists simmer. Meanwhile accusations and counter accusations of espionage further weaken relations between Germany and Britain. When Fox asks Margaret to help with a mission, she can’t wait to assist.
But enquiries in wealthy Hampstead, and assaults in Whitechapel backstreets lead to genteel Glassmakers Lane. How can a place where a moving picture studio is the only thing of interest be important? And is the death of a young woman Margaret can’t forget a critical link or a coincidental irrelevance? How can Margaret persuade Fox to stop protecting her so that she can ask the questions he can’t? And how can they discover is behind the threat to London when it’s not entirely clear what the threat actually is?
The Treacherous Dead
London 1912. A long dead traitor. A long fought battle for independence. Who wants to destroy Fox, and what is Margaret prepared to do to save him?
When an apparent murder is connected to Fox and his men, he and Margaret must work out the links to an investigation ten years before, when a traitor in the Boer War drowned on Fox’s watch. Is there someone now seeking revenge? Or is someone using knowledge of it to cover up the selling of military secrets? With London crippled by a series of strikes, Margaret and Fox struggle to try discover the truth, but as the net closes in on Fox, Margaret finds herself fighting not just for her family’s safety but for his reputation… and ultimately his life. Exactly how far is Margaret prepared to go to protect him?
Genre: Mystery
