A medical call draws the newly qualified Dr John Strangeways into the life of a woman trapped in an unsafe marriage to an unstable, drug-dependent husband. When she later disappears, professional duty and personal concern become inseparable, forcing Strangeways to confront a mystery in which intimate knowledge may illuminate the evidence-or distort his judgement. Told in Strangeways's first-person voice, the investigation brings medical practice into close contact with police procedure and medico-legal inquiry. Fingerprints, laboratory methods, witness statements, personal objects and physical traces must be weighed against secrecy, assumption and uncertain identity. The detailed observation of Rochester and the nearby waterfront gives the detective work a precise local frame, while the domestic circumstances behind the case lend urgency to every question of proof. Rather than relying on intuition alone, Strangeways must learn how disciplined examination can challenge even the most persuasive appearance. Scientific detection is matched here by a sustained conflict between emotional attachment and professional responsibility. Strangeways's position as both doctor and investigator makes each fragment of evidence matter differently: a physical sign may carry medical meaning, while an ordinary possession may unsettle an accepted account. The novel's combination of disappearance mystery, forensic method and domestic oppression creates a distinctive doctor-detective narrative, attentive to the ways addiction, concealment and private danger complicate the search for facts. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
