For several years Dominique Muller was a literary director at the éditions Ramsay . She took part to the Des Papous dans la tête radiko program on France Culture.

In 1999, she launched into the historical detective novel genre with a series whose hero is the doctor Florent Bonnevy, nicknamed Sauve-du-Mal, whose investigations take place under the Régence of Philippe, duc d'Orléans. A rationalist and follower of the ideas advocated by the Encyclopédistes, doctor Florent leaves his native Holland to settle in France. Having become a familiar of the Régent, who does not always trust him, he must hide his Jewish origins from his wife Justine. In Sauve-du-Mal et les tricheurs (1999), he investigates the past of a friend of Justine found dead in a maison close. In Le Culte des dupes (2000), he is the target of a sect worshiping the Egyptian gods who, under this cover, is trafficking young girls in a convent. Very well documented, the series Sauve-du-Mal observes a style in the manner of the writers of the eighteenth century.
