A year ago, twenty-first-century detective Mallory found herself in 1869 Edinburgh, in the body of Catriona Mitchell, a housemaid working for Dr. Duncan Gray, pioneer in forensic science. Shortly after she arrived, she made the unfortunate acquaintance of Catrionaโs former criminal mentor, Davina, an entanglement that nearly got Mallory killed. Now sheโs about to meet Davina again. Greyfriars Bobby has disappeared. The little terrier is already a legend, and Davina has made a tidy living showing him off on graveyard toursโฆwhile picking the pockets of her guests. When the elderly dog vanishes, Davina calls in a favor from her old student. Mallory agrees to help find Bobby in return for the one thing sheโs been unable to get from Davinaโthe mysterious Catrionaโs life story. Note this is not a full-length novel. It's a novella set after Death at a Highland Wedding.
