A dead question

the long version

Two weeks away from giving birth, Detective Inspector Honey Laird is at a point when bending down is becoming increasingly difficult and straightening up again almost impossible, when her boss calls upon her to investigate Dr. McGordon ... her next-door neighbor. On the outside, Dr. McGordon appears to be the perfect doctor, giving free services in poor areas, providing care in underdeveloped countries and even bringing patients to Britain (at his own expense) for special treatments.
