The Doctor of Pimlico

Description:

About this item:

Meet Walter Featherston, the acclaimed writer of detective stories, whose true identity remains a mystery to all but a few. Known to many as a seasoned traveller in society circles across Europe, and to the police as "Mr. Maltwood," Featherston has ready access to the upper echelons of Scotland Yard and the Sûreté Générale in Paris, whilst his knowledge of criminology and success in capturing criminals is recognized internationally.

In The Doctor of Pimlico, Featherston finds himself embroiled in a case involving Dr. Weirmarsh, a practicing surgeon on Vauxhall Bridge Road near Victoria Station, who is also the mastermind behind an international gang of criminals. Using General Sir Hugh Elcombe and his stepdaughter Enid as pawns in his schemes, Weirmarsh's hypnotic hold over his victims is both mysterious and terrifying.

As Featherston races to uncover the true identity and motivations of the enigmatic doctor of Pimlico, he must navigate a web of deceit and treachery that threatens to ensnare him as well.

Will he be able to solve the case and bring Weirmarsh to justice before it's too late?

Find out in this classic golden age detective novel.

An evil doctor gets good people in his clutches

P. · 25 May 2023

The protagonist, Walter Featherston, is a man of mystery. In some circles he’s a cosmopolitan seeking enjoyment in cities all around the world. At home in a thatched cottage in the country, he’s a writer of best-selling mysteries — but keeps it secret. He’s also got friends at Scotland Yard, and occasionally helps them catch criminals!Walter has always avoided romance — but suddenly finds himself madly in love with a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, both Enid and her stepfather seem to have an unsavory relationship with a sinister doctor in Pimlico.Walter has to solve the mystery of that dubious association before he can surrender to his love.The Doctor of Pimlico was first published in 1919. It’s fairly old-fashioned in plot and characterization — but still an enjoyable read if you like vintage mysteries (as I do).
