BACK IN CAMBRIDGE, HISTORIAN GILLIAN ADAMS FINDS MURDER WAITING...
The death of a brilliant young scientist in the Chemistry Department at Cambridge shocks both the university and the town, and Gillian Adams – a Canadian academic in Cambridge for the summer – finds herself caught up in the midst of investigations.
Venomous professional rivalries and a clandestine love affair are only two of the motives for this vicious murder. When a second body turns up there appears to be no links with the first, but everyone knows that if the deaths can be tied, the thread will lead to the murderer. While the police methodically sift the evidence, Gillian takes a different approach, asking the questions that only a woman can.
‘Kelly is as stunning on the evocative geography of workplaces as she is at dry, educated repartee. A chilling intrigue, which shrewdly examines professional jealousies and warped psychologies’
JOHN COLEMAN, 'Sunday Times'

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Paperback. 252 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Harper Collins Publishers, London, 1994. *** CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Spine has moderate reading creases. . Pages are reasonably tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Canadian historian Gillian Adams finds herself back in Cambridge. She's set to enjoy that lovely city in high summer--and her romance with Scotland Yard Detective Chief Inspector Edward Gisborne, even though he's tying up a child-killing case in Lambeth. Then the death of a research fellow in the Department of Chemistry shocks both the university and the town. Gillian is linked to the victim through old friends and to the Cambridge police through Edward. Ideally placed to investigate Wendy Fowler's murder, she turns up evidence of venomous professional rivalries and at least one clandestine liaison. Not to mention that Wendy, a volunteer at the Pregnancy Information Service, is herself pregnant. Then a second body turns up. There is no compelling evidence to link it to Wendy, nor to the motives ascribed to the suspects in her death. As the police sift the facts, Gillian looks at the crimes from a feminist perspective, seeing that that science, contemporary mores, and more conservative traditions have produced a volatile--indeed, fatal--mixture. *** Quantity Available: 1.
