_______________ On a summer's morning in 1860, the Kent family
awakes in their elegant Wiltshire home to a terrible discovery;
their youngest son has been brutally murdered. When celebrated
detective Jack Whicher is summoned from Scotland Yard he faces the
unenviable task of identifying the killer - when the grieving
family are the suspects. The original Victorian whodunnit, the
murder and its investigation provoked national hysteria at the
thought of what might be festering behind the locked doors of
respectable homes - scheming servants, rebellious children,
insanity, jealousy, loneliness and loathing. _______________
