Description
"a suspenseful, gripping page-turner of a mystery" - Booklist
Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton has always been ambitious.
Her subordinates fear and dislike her, and her superiors disdain and disrespect her.
Her only saving grace is her amazing solve rate.
Her latest case could make or break her career.
A series of brutal murders has occurred, and while the method—stabbing, then throat slitting—is the same, it’s difficult to find a link between the victims.
Pathologist John Eisenmenger has been out of commission after a mental breakdown, but now he’s back, and Wharton is eager for his input, which has helped her solve cases in the past.
But this case is full of challenging conundrums: possible human trafficking or drug smuggling; a vengeful, tragic mother; a man damaged by a military blunder; militant terrorists; and a potential dirty bomb aimed at a high-level target.
Will Wharton be able to join the bloody dots before it’s too late?
Praise for The Taste of Wormwood:
“With his usual consummate skill, McCarthy weaves these disparate elements into a suspenseful, gripping page-turner of a mystery that’s sure to keep readers glued to their seats and offers up yet another must-read entry in his John Eisenmenger series.” – Booklist
“Fans will race to the end, if only to see whether Beverley, who faces more of the same love-hate relationship with Eisenmenger, the agony of second-guessing herself, and the usual professional and personal infighting, will survive to face another grueling case next year.” – Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Keith McCarthy:

“McCarthy tweaks this spine-tingler with jittery twists, including a shocking ending” - Publishers Weekly on Corpus Delicti
“I have one word for Keith McCarthy’s John Eisenmenger series and that word is ‘INTENSE’. – A Thrill a Week
