The Cargo From Neira

Physician-sleuth Dr Gabriel Taverner has to connect the dots between a desperate woman who tried to kill herself, a dead man in a drainage ditch with nutmegs in his mouth and a nightly intruder in this historical mystery. Can Gabriel protect himself and the ones that are close to him or will he perish in a bigger plot that leaves bodies behind?
