  • "En 1887, la sage-femme Dolly Merishaw aide en secret une femme à accoucher, dans un village au nord de Toronto. Plusieurs années après, alors qu'elle a tenté de mettre au point un chantage, Dolly est retrouvée assassinée. L'inspecteur Murdoch soupçonne l'épouse du juge Pedlow, car il a retrouvé chez Dolly une enveloppe à son nom. Mais d'autres femmes pourraient être la meurtrière..."
  • "One warm summer day in 1895 Toronto, Dolly Merishaw is found dead on her parlour floor, apparently having hit her head in a drunken fall. But Detective William Murdoch soon finds evidence that she may have been murdered. When he learns of her past as a midwife and abortionist, he is not surprised she's been murdered, because although she kept quiet about her clients, her contempt and greed often left them angry and resentful. But when a young boy is found dead in Dolly's squalid kitchen a week later, Murdoch isn't sure if he's hunting one murderer or two - or if other children may be in peril."
