About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Saint Martin's Press, LLC, 1998. First edition, October 1998, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY. Signed by the author at the title page. 1895 Toronto setting. Desperate women, rich and poor, come to her in need of help - and discretion. Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto, but although she keeps quiet about her clients' condition, her contempt and greed leaves them resentful and angry. So it comes as no surprise when this malicious woman is murdered. What is a shock, though, is that a week later a young boy is found dead in Dolly's squalid kitchen. Now, Detective Murdoch isn't sure if he's hunting one murderer - or two.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
