It is an amazing book, which describes an unsolved crimestory from the 1870'es. It is a wonderful mixture of crimestory and history. Det er en fantastisk bog, som beskriver et uløst mordmysterium fra Victoriatidens London. Vi bliver taget med gennem hele sagen og får et forrygende glimt af de sociale forhold i London i 1870'erne.
