About the book
When a patient is killed by an electrical medical device, the manufacturer argues it was tampered with. So, who is responsible for her death? And why did they have a grudge against her doctor, who is now facing a ruined reputation?
The medical community's trust in electric shock therapy for female nervous disorders is rocked by a patient's death while using such a device. Harry Armitage is brought in to defend the doctor accused of murder, and he enlists Cleo to help uncover the truth. The doctor had previously attempted to treat Cleo's aunt without success. Delving deeper, they discover other patients the doctor had failed, leading to loved ones seeking vengeance.
Could this thirst for revenge have led to the innocent patient's demise? Or did the victim have enemies of her own? As Cleo and Harry peel back the layers of the mystery, they realize not all is as it appears. Suspects are harboring secrets that could destroy reputations and relationships if brought to light.
Meanwhile, a pharmaceutical company preparing for a crucial presentation at the Mayfair Hotel discovers plans to disrupt the event. Can Cleo and Harry solve the mystery and save the presentation? Or will it be ruined, allowing a murderer to escape justice?
