Devoured
Devoured is the first title in a series of Victorian thrillers featuring the first ever expert in ‘medical jurisprudence’, Adolphus Hatton, who is forced to run his forensics department in a forgotten lab in the basement of St Bart’s hospital in London. Working with Scotland Yard, Professor Hatton and his trusty French morgue assistant, Albert Roumande, are asked to determine ‘Cause of Death’ for a series of brutal murders amongst the scientific community, which seem to be linked with the craze for collecting flora and fauna and the big controversial topic of the day: God Vs Nature. Following a trail of letters from a far flung forest in Borneo, this is fast, gritty, page turning historical fiction, and D.E. Meredith is an exciting new name in the thriller market.
