Thompson’s latest in the Gaslight Mystery series centers on a young investigative reporter seeking the truth. New Century Magazine is branching out into investigative articles on pressing social issues, prompting young reporter Louisa Rogers to research the dangers of patent medicines. Her investigation leads her to midwife Sarah Malloy’s clinic while walking the neighborhood in search of people addicted to such nostrums to interview. Sarah is more than happy to tell Louisa what she thinks of such medicines. A few days later, Louisa is found dead and the police decide it was a random attack, making no attempts to investigate. It’s up to Sarah and Frank to shine a light on the truth and catch the fiend.
