The fabulous fifth installment in the bestselling adventures of Isabel Dalhousie.When Isabel is asked to help a doctor who has been “disgraced” by allegations of scientific fraud, our ever curious moral philosopher finds her interest piqued. Would a doctor with a stellar reputation make such a simple but grave mistake? If not, what explains the tragic accident that resulted in the death of a patient? Clearly, an investigation is in order, and investigations have a tendency to surprise us. Meanwhile Isabel is engaged in an ongoing struggle with Grace over the care of Isabel's infant son, Charlie. But as we've come to know, whatever the case, whatever the solution, Isabel's combination of spirit, smarts, curiosity, empathy, and unabashed nosiness guarantees a delightful adventure.
