The grisly death of a young girl resurfaces after twenty-two years. The coroner’s open verdict comes under scrutiny…

Sasha Grove-Williams hated her wealthy father’s dubious business affairs – and ended up dead on a railway track. But did she jump or was she pushed? That’s the burning question for Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton when a raving answerphone message from the now dementia-suffering coroner of the day falls into her hands.

She and her pathologist lover Dr John Eisenmenger – an expert in forensics – are immediately plunged into a messy world of corruption and violence that seems to envelop everyone.

Who is the father of the Sasha’s foetus that unexpectedly comes to light? How can Beverley be mired in the charge of collusion? What evil will Stephen Grove-Williams not stoop to in order to end the snooping? What will John make of Beverley’s bid to blackmail a villain to feather her own nest? Can science triumph over treachery?

Keith McCarthy’s sardonic crime mystery To Mourn a Mischief will appeal to fans of the television drama series Silent Witness.

In the wake of several unexpected deaths at the hospital, Dr Claire Woodforde suspects there is a killer amongst the staff.

As Detective Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton and her new sergeant, Tom Bayes, begin to investigate, they too start to wonder if the deaths were natural or whether someone helped them along. But as they start to make headway, something much more sinister comes to light.

A body is found in an empty house. A body without its limbs - and head. Dr John Eisenmenger is tasked with examining the torso to uncover clues which will lead to its identity and cause of death - a grisly job even for the most hardened of pathologists.

When policewoman Eva Perry goes deep undercover to help bring a vicious local crime ring to justice, both she and her boss - Chief Detective Inspector Beverley Wharton - know there are huge risks involved. A series of unexplained and bizarre suicides forces Beverley into close contact with her former lover, the renegade forensic pathologist John Eisenmenger, who is already investigating the sudden suicide of his colleague Daisy Pemberton.

Eisenmenger conducts autopsies on the victims and discovers all their deaths are linked by their earrings. When he convinces Beverley to pursue the trail of the earrings, they become enmeshed in a frightening web of mental manipulation that brings them to the edge of being the instruments of their own violent deaths.

“Will appeal to fans of John Harvey’s crime novels” Library Journal - Arthur Meadows has just returned home from a trip to south-west Europe, supposedly bringing back a consignment of cloth, but actually bringing back something far more deadly. Meanwhile, a young Asian couple are murdered in their small house in Gloucester, the killings done with ruthless efficiency. Beverley Wharton, now Chief Inspector, does not relish the investigation of the murders: partly due to the choice of pathologist, Charles Sydenham. She would have preferred John Eisenmenger, but he has his own problems trying to work out why Arthur Meadows died so unexpectedly . . .

The eighth book in the popular John Eisenmenger forensic mystery series - The newly promoted Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton once more turns to forensic pathologist John Eisenmenger to help with the discovery of a severed male head in a local farmyard. When a headless – but female – body then turns up in a dustbin, they must acknowledge that this is the work of a serial killer. However, this killer seems to have scientific knowledge and a desire to experiment with his victims in his search for the human soul . . .

Continuing the Eisenmenger and Robinson forensic mystery series - Eisenmengers relationship with Helena Flemming has deteriorated to the point that Helena wants it to end, leaving Eisenmenger devastated. In order to cope, he throws himself back into his work as a forensic pathologist and is immediately consumed by a disturbing discovery.

A John Eisenmenger and Helena Flemming Forensic Mystery - When John Eisenmenger is unwilling to accept his bosss death from natural causes diagnosis on an autopsy, he goes to old friend DI Beverley Wharton. When this and other unnatural deaths lead to Atopia, a private clinic for the treatment of allergies run by a Dr Dreifus whose wife has just been found dead, it seems that there is more to this than death by natural causes . . .
