A Detective at Death’s Door
By H.R.F. Keating
In her most personal case yet, Harriet Martens finds herself in grave danger from a deft and cunning poisoner.
Relaxing with her husband by the pool one hot August Bank Holiday, Harriet doesn’t expect the refreshing glass at her side to conceal a deadly drug. When she awakes from a doze, she is no longer by the water, but in a hospital bed recovering from a near-fatal dose of aconitine.
As Harriet makes a slow recovery, she tries to come to terms with the fact that someone wanted to kill her. But no sooner has she mustered enough energy to begin finding the person responsible, than the poisoner strikes again. And this time, he’s successful…
A Detective at Death’s Door is the fifth book in HRF Keating’s popular Harriet Martens/Hard Detective series but works well as a stand-alone novel. It’s a great choice for fans of ‘golden age’ British crime novels.
