Naming the Dead

In this second Alexander Baxby Mystery, physician Baxby hopes to start his life anew in Amsterdam, free from political and religious control. However, his confidence is shaken when the body of a young Englishman is found beneath the Blue Bridge which links the city to the islands where immigrants live. Although his dreams of marrying and owning a canal house prove harder than expected, immigrants being restricted to poorly paid work, Baxby refuses to give up or forget those who died. Only when his own life is threatened, does the physician begin to uncover lies, misinformation and malevolence on a scale he never imagined.
