Dying To Be Heard: Historical mystery set in the lead up to World War 1

Would you betray a friend to save a country? Would you betray a country to avenge a friend? London May 1913. Angry about the treatment of suffragettes, and a supporter’s murder, Dr Margaret Demeray’s friend Maude urges their suffrage group towards violent militancy. But Margaret is conflicted when a parcel bomb brings casualties to her hospital. And what is the risk to a fragile peace treaty which is about to be signed, and to Fox who’s tracking down stolen diplomatic documents? Fox thinks someone is hiding behind suffrage militancy to detract from his search. Margaret thinks the murders and the missing documents are intrinsically linked, and Maude might be the next victim. If she’s wrong, then one of her fellow suffragettes is a murderer. But if she’s right, then someone else is trying to find the documents and is prepared to kill to get them. Time is running out. If someone finds the person with the documents before Fox does, that person might not survive. If the documents are published, Europe might be catapulted into war before any of its nations are ready to fight. Margaret and Fox need to move fast before one more person is silenced.
