Производитель: "Little, Brown and Company" It is 1941. There may be a`war of chaos`in the skies over London, but`the perpetual war against the underworld of crime`must nevertheless continue on the streets below. At 12 o`clock on a Spring day in a London Coroner`s Court, famed forensic pathologist Dr Keith Simpson asks young journalist Molly Lefebure if she might like to become his secretary. Recalling the`horror of secretarial work and secretarial young ladies`, she turns him down flat, resolving to stick to twelve-hour days covering`everything from Boy Scout meetings to the blitz`. By 3 o`clock that afternoon, curious about exactly what goes on behind a mortuary door, Molly has changed her mind. It is the beginning of an extraordinary adventure.`Miss Molly`becomes Dr Simpson`s right-hand woman, following him to crime scenes, courtrooms and mortuaries, taking notes, collecting evidence and witnessing the most shocking of sights. You`ll never regret going to work in the mortuaries, Miss Molly, a coroner`s officer told her.`There`s never a dull moment with the bodies around.` Издательство: "Little, Brown and Company" (2013)
