THE SCENT OF MURDER: THE DR DODY MCLELAND MYSTERIES
Book ID/图书代码： 12774014B69543
English Summary/英文概要： ‘If a black dog appears along the old corpse way, the route a funeral procession takes to the churchyard, it is thought to be escorting the dead soul to the afterlife. A black dog sighting without a funeral procession, however, is supposed to foreshadow death.’
For Doctor Dody McCleland, the unearthing of an ancient skeleton in a dry riverbed is a welcome break from the monotony of chaperoning her younger sister at a country house near the isolated hamlet of Piltdown. But when she begins her analysis of the bones, Britain’s first female autopsy surgeon discovers they are much more recent - and they are the result of murder. With Chief Inspector Matthew Pike’s help Dody begins to investigate. Soon she finds herself pitted against ugly traditionalism, exploitation, spectral dogs, a ghostly hunt and a series of events that not only threaten her belief in scientific rationalism, but threaten her life itself.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “如若黑犬孤独的出现在尸道之上，出现在葬礼队前往墓地的必经之路上，那它一定是在陪伴护卫死者的亡灵前往后世。如果有人在没有出现葬礼队的情况下见到黑犬，那么，这只黑犬必定是在预示死亡。”
对于杜迪•马克里兰德博士而言，在干枯的河床里挖掘出一具远古时期的骷髅骨实在是一件振奋人心的事情，尤其是当她无聊地陪伴着妹妹住在与世隔绝的皮尔特顿的一座乡间宅邸里。然而当她开始自己的分析后，这位英国历史上的首位女验尸官发现这些骨头其实并不古老，他们不仅是近期的骨头，而且是遭遇谋杀后才身亡。在首席侦探马修•派克的帮助下，杜迪开始了调查。很快她便发现自己其实是在和丑陋的传统、剥削、幽灵般的光谱狗以及一系列的事件所斗争着，然而这一切不仅动摇着她对科学理性的信仰，同时更是威胁着她的生命。（DC）
