Product Description

The suicide of a mysterious young woman and the murder of two men appear to be inextricably linked. When Dr. Joseph Bell is asked to assist the police, it soom becomes clear that this is more than just a routine case. Dr Bell's relationship with the Chief of investigation is put in the spot light as old resentments come to the surface jeopardising a quick conclusion to the murders. Bell calls in Arthur Conan Doyle for support, but when Doyle seems to side with the Chief rather than his mentor, cracks start to appear in their long friendship. Can Joseph Bell's extraordinary powers of deduction reveal that there is more to this case than meets the eye? Or will he be proved wrong for the first time in his career?

Customer Reviews

Brilliant !!!4
This was the last of the Murder Rooms series and in my opinion also the best.
The acting is brilliant especially by Ian Richardson and Rik Mayall who gives a surprisingly
well and straight performance as Daniel Blaney.
The plot is as usual in the Murder Rooms series
cunning and brilliant and you will keep guessing
untill the very last minute.
The ending of the white knight strategem also gives good closure to a fantastic series.
Well worth buying,you won't regret it.
