Murder at the British Museum

Jim Eldridge

Museum mysteries, bk. 2

1894: A well-respected academic is found dead in a gentleman's convenience cubicle at the British Museum, the stall locked from the inside. Professor Lance Pickering had been due to give a talk promoting the museum's new 'Age of King Arthur' exhibition when he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest. Having forged a strong reputation working alongside the inimitable Inspector Abberline on the Jack the Ripper case, Daniel Wilson brings his expertise - and archaeologist Abigail Fenton - with him. But it isn't long before the museum becomes the site of another fatality, and the pair face mounting pressure to deliver results. With enquiries compounded by persistent journalists, local vandals and a fanatical society, Wilson and Fenton must race against time to salvage the reputation of the museum and catch a murderer desperate for revenge
