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.
