Taste of Wormwood
2012
Arthur Meadows has just returned home from a trip to south-west Europe, supposedly bringing back a consignment of cloth, but actually bringing back something far more deadly. Meanwhile, a young Asian couple are murdered in their small house in Gloucester, the killings done with ruthless efficiency. Beverley Wharton, now Chief Inspector, does not relish the investigation of the murders: partly due to the choice of pathologist, Charles Sydenham. She would have preferred John Eisenmenger, but he has his own problems trying to work out why Arthur Meadows died so unexpectedly . . .

Decoherence
2011
Sebastian Shockley lost his mother to cancer and his father to suicide, but he’s just struck lucky, because he’s just written a best-seller. His success is short-lived, though, because he’s then diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour that gives him vivid, macabre hallucinations. When he’s contacted to take part in a study of an experimental cure, he his given some hope but maybe the cure is worse than the disease; or maybe there isn’t a cure at all. As the study proceeds, he begins to believe that there are secrets all around him and he starts to wonder if there’s something terribly wrong with the reality in which finds himself; if, in fact, reality has no existence for him any more.

With a Passion put to use
2008
Reluctantly, Eisenmenger takes a job as a locum in the pathology department of St Christopher’s Hospital as his partner Helena is pregnant and they must prepare financially for the baby’s arrival. John finds the prospect of being back on the treadmill, working within the NHS again, tedious, but when he is unwilling to accept his boss’s ‘death from natural causes’ diagnosis after autopsies on various bodies, his professional suspicions are piqued. He goes to his old friend DI Beverley Wharton with his concerns and when all paths seem to lead to Atopia, a private clinic for the treatment of allergies run by a Dr Adam Dreifus – whose wife has just been found dead – it seems that there is more to this than ‘death by natural causes’…

A World full of Weeping
2006
An invitation to spend a week or two with childhood friends seemed like the perfect way to help Helena’s recovery from cancer treatment. Helena had grown up with the Hickmans, had spent many happy holidays with them, and the fact that they lived in a Castle surrounded by forest on the edge of a lake only made it seem all the more perfect as a rest cure. Then, a man is found burned to death in a car on the edge of the Castle estate and this seemingly irrelevant occurrence creates unexpected disturbances in the lives of all those living in the Castle. Helena and Eisenmenger, caught in the middle of this, cannot understand the reason for this, but more is to come for there are secrets in the Castle – secrets that are of profound importance not only the to the Hickmans, but also to Helena.

The Final Analysis
2005
In the beginning there were five identical murders, the bodies eviscerated and the organs scattered playfully around. Beverley Wharton had been certain that the killer was Melkior Pendred, but her colleague, Sergeant Homer, always believed she had caught the wrong man and that it was Melkior’s twin, Martin, who was guilty…

The Silent Sleep of the Dying
2004
Mark Hartmann, a consultant pathologist, has problems. Married to a barrister, he ought to be living a comfortable life but his excessive gambling is starting to threaten his marriage. Then he has to perform an autopsy on Millicent Sweet, a 22-year-old laboratory assistant who has died of cancer. His findings are odd, for though so young she appears to have suffered from several different, aggressive cancers. But before he can discuss the case with colleagues he is called away to a conference in Scotland, where, drunk and depressed in the evening, he ends up sleeping with one of the sales reps. The consequence of this is blackmail by a pharmaceutical company who threaten to reveal all to Hartmann’s wife – unless he falsifies his report on Millicent Sweet’s death. And they are not the only people interested in Sweet. Her father, convinced his daughter’s death is the result of a laboratory accident, has asked lawyer Helena Flemming to investigate further. Helena’s partner, John Eisenmenger, is a forensic pathologist, who soon uncovers the results of Hartmann’s original autopsy and subsequent deception…

A Feast of Carrion
2003
St Benjamin’s Medical School is the greatest of its kind, any death occurring within its walls would have created ripples within the academic world, but the death of Nikki Exner is far from being ordinary. Raped, and then grotesquely executed, her theatrical murder horrifies everyone.
John Eisenmenger, a former forensic pathologist, finds himself dragged unwillingly into the case. Teaming up with solicitor Helena Flemming, Eisenmenger sets out to discover what really did happen to Nikki Exner.
Eisenmenger and Flemming find there is much more at stake than uncovering the identity of a murderer: there are scores to be settled, demons to be exorcised, and, not least, vengeance to be had.
