In April 1871, a constable walking a beat near Greenwich found a
girl dying in the mud - her face cruelly slashed and her brains
protruding from her skull. The girl was Maria Jane Clouson, a maid
for the respectable Pook family, and who was pregnant at the time
of her death. When the blood-spattered clothes of the 20-year-old
Edmund Pook, alleged father of the dead girl's unborn child, were
discovered, the matter seemed open and shut. Yet there followed a
remarkable legal odyssey full of unexpected twists as the police
struggled to build a case. Paul Thomas Murphy recreated the drama
of an extraordinary murder case and conclusively identifies the
killer's true identity.
