Description

July 1910: a gruesome discovery has been made at 39 Hilldrop Crescent, Camden. Buried in the cellar are the remains of Cora Crippen, former music-hall singer and wife of Dr Hawley Crippen. But Crippen and his mistress have disappeared, and a full-scale hunt for them has begun. An evocation of the true story behind this famous case.
