About this ebook
'Edward Marston is a master of his craft.' Daily Mail
December 1917. Ada Hobbes arrives on a frosty morning to clean the house owned by Dr Tindall, a surgeon at the Edmonton Military Hospital. She is shocked to find the blood-covered body of her employer sprawled across the floor. He has been hacked to death.
Detective Inspector Harvey Marmion and Sergeant Joe Keedy arrive to a horrific scene. Someone enjoyed killing him, without a doubt. Their investigation takes them far out of London and on the trail of a very different Dr Tindall, one who was not the respectable local doctor everyone thought he was. Marmion and Keedy will need to sift through a number of likely suspects to find the killer behind this gruesome murder.

December 1917 Inspector Harvey Marmion and Sergeant Joe Keedy are called out to a brutal killing. That of Dr George Tindall, whos body was discovered by his cleaner Ada Hobbs. But why would any one want to murder such an honourable man. Soon the team discover similar killings. An entertaining and well-written historical mystery, with its likeable and varied characters. The book can easily be read as a standalone story.
