London, 1920: Boston-bred Enoch Hale, working as a reporter for the
Central News Syndicate, arrives on the scene shortly after a music
hall escape artist is found hanging from the ceiling in his
dressing room. What at first appears to be a suicide turns out to
be murder ...the first of several using the same modus operandi.
What's the connecting factor among all the victims? Or isn't there
one? That's what the dogged journalist Hale aims to find out.
Covering the Hangman Murders brings him into contact with a diverse
cast of witnesses and interview subjects that include Winston
Churchill, William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Alfred
Hitchcock, and Ezra Pound. Hale, whose best friend in London is the
chain-smoking poet and banker T.S. (Tom) Eliot even makes a
pilgrimage to the Sussex Downs to get an opinion on the case from
the great detective Sherlock Holmes. The trip is in vain, but he
eventually does meet Holmes in a most surprising encounter. Through
it all there is another mystery, which perhaps goes to the mystery
of the human heart. What is the lovely music hall singer Sadie
Briggs concealing from Hale - just her past or also her present?
