  Edith Pargeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edith Mary Pargeter (September 28, 1913–October 14, 1995) was a prolific British author of works in many categories, especially history and historical fiction, and was also honoured for her translations of Czech classics; she is probably best known for her murder mysteries, both historical and modern.
Born in the village of Horsehay (Shropshire, England), she had Welsh ancestry, and many of her short stories and books (both fictional and non-fictional) were set in Wales and its borderlands.
Pargeter wrote under a number of pseudonyms; it was under the name Ellis Peters that she wrote the highly popular series of Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries, many of which were made into films for television.

 Minuet in Hell
She tells him her story, including Dale Pargeter's role in the Hellfire Club, and he admits to her that he's been sent undercover by the United Nations to investigate the use of the PSI machine; the British Doomwatch organisation fears that it could be used to edit people's memories before returning them to their heads.
Meanwhile, Pargeter has arranged for a number of catatonic patients to be shipped to the Institute; tonight, she will put Zebidiah back under the PSI machine and take out his memory in stages, putting a bit into each patient and then moving on to the next.
Pargeter fails to recognise her, and sends her to join the new girls, who are to replace the ones who escaped last night.
