From Book 1: David Field is back with a brand new Victorian mystery series! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Emily Organ, Anne Perry and Robin Paige…

Should you be afraid of the dead – or the living?

London, 1892

Over two hundred years ago, in 1665, a mass grave was dug to house the hundreds of corpses who fell victim to the Black Death.

When Aldgate Underground station was extended, the workmen discovered the grave and unceremoniously dumped the bones, to make way for the new track.

Now, a renowned spiritualist is claiming the dead are rising to punish Londoners.

Strange encounters start to be reported in London’s East End with some people dying from unexplained causes.

People start to panic, and distressed parishioners consult local preacher, Matthew West, looking for reassurance.

Matthew is at a loss and turns to local doctor, James Carlyle, for answers.

Carlyle and West have very different views on science and religion, but they decide to work together to get the bottom of the mysterious deaths.

Has a curse really been put on London? Have the dead risen from their graves?

Or could a serial killer be loose in the city…?

INTERVIEWING THE DEAD is the first crime thriller in an exciting new historical crime series, the Carlyle & West Victorian Mysteries, private investigations set in Victorian London and packed full of suspense.

David was born in post-war Nottingham, and educated at Nottingham High School. After obtaining a Law degree he became a career-long criminal law practitioner and academic, emigrating in 1989 to Australia, where he still lives.

Combining his two great loves of History and the English language he began writing historical novels as an escape from the realities of life in the criminal law, but did not begin to publish them until close to fulltime retirement, when digital publishing offered a viable alternative to literary agencies, print publishers and rejection slips.

Now blessed with all the time in the world, his former hobby has become a fulltime occupation as he enjoys life in rural New South Wales with his wife, sons and grandchildren to keep him firmly grounded in the reality of the contemporary world.
