London, 1924. Nach den Schrecken des Ersten Weltkriegs liegt über den Straßen der Metropole Aufbruchsstimmung. Wissenschaft, Frieden und Wirtschatsaufschwung scheinen wieder möglich zu sein. Doch in den finsteren Gassen Londons regiert nach wie vor das Verbrechen – und der Schrecken der immer noch traumatisierten Soldaten. Als Eric Peterkin, seines Zeichens Gentleman und Kriminallektor, an einem nebligen Morgen die heiligen Hallen des ehrwürdigen Britannia Clubs betritt, ahnt er nicht, dass er bald in einen handfesten Mord aus Fleisch und Blut verwickelt sein wird. Ein Clubmitglied wird erstochen und flüstert Peterkin ein letztes Vermächtnis ins Ohr: „Rächen Sie die Vergangenheit!“ Peterkin macht sich auf in die nebligen Gassen Londons und kommt einem Verbrechen auf die Spur, das von finsteren Opiumhöhlen zu den eleganten Zimmern hoher Politiker führt …

Doctors and other health professionals are increasingly drawn toward research in the course of their training, often with little guidance on the skills, techniques and personal qualities required of a medical research worker. This short and helpful book has been written by three authors with long experience in performing and evaluating research in medicine. It provides essential advice for the beginner, covering in a practical and accessible fashion all the steps involved from choosing a research project to preparing and submitting a thesis. Now in its second edition, many important revisions have been made including updates on the use of computers, career implications, degree structures and ethical issues in human and animal experimentation. The illustrations by David Langdon provide a wry commentary on the ups and downs of life in research.
