description: Women rich and poor come to her desperate and in dire need of help  and discretion. Dolly Merishaw is a midwife and an abortionist in Victorian Toronto but although she keeps quiet about her clients condition her contempt for them and her greed leaves every one of them resentful and angry. So it comes as no surprise to Detective William Murdoch when this malicious woman is murdered. What is a shock though is that a week later a young boy is found dead in Dollys squalid kitchen. Now Murdoch isnt sure if hes hunting one murderer  or two.
