Quote:
In her most personal case yet, Harriet Martens finds herself placed in grave danger at the hands of a deft and cunning poisoner.
Whilst relaxing with her husband at the Majestic pool one hot August Bank Holiday, Harriet does not expect the refreshing glass of Campari soda at her side to conceal a deadly drug.
And when she awakes from a doze she is no longer by the water, but in a hospital bed recovering from a near-fatal dose of aconitine.
She is at Death’s Door.
As Harriet makes her slow recovery, she tries to come to term with the terrible fact that someone wanted to kill her, and she is determined to find out who.
But no sooner has she mustered enough energy to begin making tentative enquiries, than the poisoner strikes again. And this time he is successful…
As the poisoner continues to kill again and again, Harriet must work against the clock, and against her slow recovery, to decode the puzzle of who is committing these shocking crimes.
A Detective at Death’s Door is a gripping crime thriller from the master of the genre, H. R. F. Keating.
