VICTIM IN VICTORIA STATION (Jeanne Dams)

I know, I know.  I just can't stop reading about the adventures of Dorothy Martin!  This story is a bit unusual in that Dorothy is working independently, i.e. without police involvement, to solve a murder that only she and the murderers know actually happened.  After enjoying the comapany of young American businessman Bill Monaghan on the train to London, Dorothy is dismayed to learn that her new acquaintance has succumbed to an apparent heart attack.  A doctor who happens by assures her that he will take care of arrangements, so she heads to her orthopedist's appointment and scours the papers the next day looking for information about the unusual death.  She finally calls the police and is told that they have had no reports of a death in Victoria Station.  Since her husband, retired policeman Alan Nesbitt, is in Zimbabwe, Dorothy enlists the help of Tom and Lynn Alexander, her London-based American friends, and young Nigel, a computer expert, to find out who Bill Monaghan was and why he disappeared.  Dorothy arranges, with Tom's help, to work at the London office of Multilinks, Monaghan's software company, in an effort to gather information.  The combination of familiar, entertaining characters, a sub-plot of technolgical intrigue, and Dorothy's own down-to-earth investigative skills make this another appealing mystery by Jeanne Dams.
