1929. A girl is strangled in a London alley, the mangled corpse of a peeping Tom is found in a railway tunnel and the details of the latest trunk murder are updated hourly in the evening papers. Into this world steps Dora Strang, doctor's daughter and filing clerk to the country's pre-eminent pathologist, Alfred Kemble.

She lives in North London with her husband and two children.
Review:
She writes with such energy and panache that I found myself screaming with laughter ... Her characters are a delight [and] she gets the period beautifully right, so that one is all the time aware of the serious intent behind all the gruesome fun Barbara Trapido Deliciously dark Sunday Express An energetic and witty yarn Easy Living A hilarious mix of first love and formaldehyde Daisy Goodwin A wicked, witty tale of villainy, scandal, sex and science set in London in the 20's S magazine Bodies in trunks and on the mortuary slab,the whiff of formaldehyde, the gamey taint of illicit sex... Another fabulouslyunwholesome treat from the acid pen of Louise Levene Luke Jennings
