September 1920.

A young bride is discovered dead at a country house on her wedding day. Has she fallen victim to the deadly Withington curse, which strikes down any woman who marries into the family?

Forensic Pathologist Dr Bernard Spilsbury doesn't believe in such superstitions, and suspects a more earthly reason for Theodora Tupper's death.

But as he and his trusty assistant Violet investigate, they soon discover that there are indeed ghosts at Withington Hall. And they, too, have a story to tell...

So it's fitting that her new series features Sir Bernard Spilsbury, the forensic pathologist who helped send him to the gallows. A Londoner born and bred, D. L. Douglas now lives in York with her husband and family.
