About the Author
Pursuing thieves and murderers through the ages is just an average day for the history detective, Carol Baxter. Like Dr Who, she hunts ordinary individuals who unwittingly had such an extraordinary impact on their world that the consequences changed the course of history. Then she brings their stories to life as ‘non-fiction thrillers’. The Peculiar Case of the Electric Constable: a true tale of passion, poison and pursuit is her fourth book. It is being published internationally by Britain’s Oneworld.
