Crippen: A Novel of Murder
In July 1910, the discovery of Cora Crippen's body in the cellar of 39 Hilldrop Crescent, Camden, sets off a chain of events that will appeal to and intrigue. The case of the missing Dr Hawley Crippen and his mistress, Ethel Le Neve, has Scotland Yard stumped, and the public is outraged.
Meanwhile, a ship bound for Canada, the SS Montrose, sets sail from Antwerp with a diverse group of passengers, each with their own secrets and motivations. As the voyage begins, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and the truth about the Crippen case is about to be revealed.
