Death of a Doxy

Murder and Mystery. Secrets and Lies. A Pioneer Policewoman Investigates.

A Scottish suspense thriller set in 1919.

Big Aggie’s girls are much in demand in her notorious house of pleasure. When Lily, one of her most popular girls is savagely killed it sparks off a mystery with wide-reaching consequences.

Why was Lily killed? Was it a crime of passion or something more calculated? And what secrets was Lily hiding?

Dundee’s first policewoman, Kirsty Campbell, thinks it’s more than a crime of passion. She’s keen to prove herself to DI Jamie Brewster by cracking the case.

To find the killer, she must unravel Lily’s secrets – but it’s only when her own life is in danger that she learns others hide secrets too.

It is a tortuous trail where Kirsty faces danger before the mystery is solved.
