Following the suicide of her mentor and boss, Bernice Pryde, Cordelia Gray is left as the sole proprietress of Pryde Detective Agency. Along with the agency, Cordelia inherits the investigation into the death of Mark Callender. Officially, that too was a suicide, but Sir Ronald Callender, an eminent Cambridge scientist and the boy’s father, is convinced otherwise.Through the ensuing investigation, Cordelia is plunged deep into the Callender family’s turbulent past and, as she gradually begins to unearth the truth, the evil that destroyed Mark proves to be very much alive.Set against the brilliantly evoked background of a Cambridge summer, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman marks the first appearance of Cordelia Gray.
