Death Along The Dee

Alfred and Ettie Palmer are back for another stunning standalone Victorian mystery.

Wrexham, 1884. Eight years earlier they’d been warned never again to interfere with police business. But it seems their skills are needed once more. A body deliberately drowned but left abandoned on the banks of the River Dee. A mysterious tattoo. Then two further murders, each more bizarre than the last – killings which draw them ever further into a circle of unlikely allies, eccentric suspects, old enemies, and the murky world of Fenian plots and bombings. A kidnapping. An attempted rescue among the tombstones of Chester’s Overleigh Cemetery. And a terrifying May Day climax. But why Wrexham? Why the River Dee? And have the true culprits really been identified? Another glittering mystery by award-winning author David Ebsworth.
