Their demands for an investigation would lead to the unearthing of a gruesome secret and trigger a fevered international manhunt for Belle’s husband, medical fraudster Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen.\n\nEthel Le Neve, Crippen’s typist and lover, who fled with Crippen in disguise, has always hidden in the shadows of this tale--was she really just \"an innocent young girl\" in thrall to a powerful older man? And was there an equally sinister story behind the death of Crippen’s first wife, Charlotte?\n\nBrimming with twists and featuring a carnival cast of eccentric entertainers, star lawyers, zealous detectives, medics and liars, Story of a Murder offers an electrifying snapshot of Britain and America at the dawn of the modern era.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593184610\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593184610.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rubenhold, Hallie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
