Ted Maher (born June 9, 1958) is an American former nurse who became the focus of international media attention following a high-profile criminal case in Monaco. While working as a personal nurse in the Monaco penthouse of billionaire banker Edmond Safra, Maher was convicted in 2002 of arson causing the 1999 fire that killed Safra and another caregiver, after initially giving conflicting accounts of the circumstances. He was sentenced to ten years in prison and released in October 2007 after serving eight years behind bars. Following his release, Maher’s life remained marked by legal troubles. Under the name Jon Green, he faced multiple charges in the United States, including an unsuccessful plot to solicit the killing of his then-wife, Kim Lark. In March 2025 he was found guilty of solicitation to commit first-degree murder in connection with that plot and received the maximum sentence permitted for the charge.

Jim Eldridge’s Museum (Murder) Mysteries is an historical crime-fiction series set in late-Victorian London, featuring Daniel Wilson, a former detective from the Metropolitan Police, and his partner, archaeologist Abigail Fenton. Each novel centres on a murder tied to a famous British museum or institution—such as the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, or the National Gallery—where the pair are called in as private inquiry agents to solve crimes that baffle the authorities. The series blends classic whodunnit structure with richly researched historical settings, highlighting scientific rivalries, class tensions, and the early professionalisation of museum culture. Across the series, the cases often expose the hidden politics of Victorian scholarship, including disputes over archaeological finds, forgeries, colonial acquisitions, and the ambitions of curators eager to protect their reputations. Wilson brings methodical investigative skills and quiet moral conviction, while Fenton offers academic expertise, courage, and a knack for noticing overlooked details—making them equal partners in unpicking the murders. Their developing relationship threads through the books, adding warmth and emotional continuity amid the atmosphere of intrigue.
