A DISSECTION OF MURDER

Fast-paced historical crime fiction that captures the period with a stylish, modern feel and strong female characters battling the odds in a world of unprecedented change. Think Kay Scarpetta one hundred years ago.

At the turn of the twentieth century, London’s political climate is in turmoil, as women fight for the right to vote. Dody McCleland has her own battles to fight. As England’s first female autopsy surgeon, she must prove herself as she also proves that murder treats everyone equally.
