A Knife in the Fog: A Mystery Featuring Margaret Harkness and Arthur Conan Doyle
by Bradley Harper - Fiction, Historical Fiction, Historical Mystery, Mystery

Former Prime Minister William Gladstone offers 29-year-old Arthur Conan Doyle one month's employment to assist the Metropolitan Police as a "consultant" in their hunt for the serial killer soon to be known as Jack the Ripper. Doyle agrees on the stipulation that his old professor of surgery, Professor Joseph Bell --- Doyle's inspiration for Sherlock Holmes --- agrees to work with him. The two are joined by Miss Margaret Harkness, an author residing in the East End who knows how to use a Derringer and serves as their guide and companion. Pursuing leads through the dank alleys and courtyards of Whitechapel, they come upon the body of a savagely murdered fifth victim. Soon it becomes clear that the hunters have become the hunted when a knife-wielding figure approaches.
