Valiant Doctors in the Frontier West (2020) is Dorothy Simpson’s sole non-fiction work, appearing more than two decades after Dead and Gone (1999) closed the Inspector Thanet series. The gap between her last crime novel and this late non-fiction piece is unusually long, and the subject — medical history in the frontier West — is remote from the Kent-based police procedurals she spent her career writing.
It serves as a postscript to a career primarily defined by the Thanet series, and for most readers of Simpson’s work it is a curiosity rather than an essential text.
