' Authentic social history at the birth of the NHS, an intriguing murder, a strong and convincing central character, and McPherson' s wonderful story-telling skills make this a very classy mystery' ANN CLEEVES Helen leaned close enough to fog the mirror with her breath and whispered, ' You, my girl, are a qualified medical almoner and at eight o' clock tomorrow morning you will be on the front line of the National Health Service of Scotland. ' Her eyes looked huge and scared. ' So take a shake to yourself!' ' Edinburgh, 1948. Helen Crowther leaves a crowded tenement home for her very own office in a doctor' s surgery. Upstart, ungrateful, out of your depth - the words of disapproval come at her from everywhere but she' s determined to take her chance and play her part. She' s barely begun when she stumbles over a murder and learns that, in this most respectable of cities, no one will fight for justice at the risk of scandal. As Helen resolves to find a killer, she' s propelled into a darker world than she knew existed, hardscrabble as her own can be. Disapproval is the least of her worries now. IN PLACE OF FEARis a gripping new historical crime novel that is both enthralling and entertaining, and perfect for fans of AJ Pearce and Nicola Upson.
