Name: Under the Dragon's Tail (Murdoch Mysteries #2)
Author: Maureen Jennings

Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto, and although she keeps quiet about her clients, her contempt and greed leaves them resentful and angry. It comes as no surprise to Detective William Murdoch when she is murdered, 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. The novels that inspired the popular TV series, now on alibi. “The grim story is told in forthright detail and put in a social context that elicits real sympathy for characters bound by class and biology.” --The New York Times “Life in late-19th-century Toronto comes startlingly alive in Jennings’s second gripping tale ... readers are given a vivid, heart-wrenching picture of the poverty of many in Victorian Toronto.” --Publishers Weekly “A very powerful novel.” -Poison Pen
