- Summary:
- The old bailey, 1935. Sixy-seven-year-old Francis Rattenbury has been brutally murdered in suburban Bournemouth. Two people face the hangman. One is covering for the other. But who is guilty? Is it Rattenbury's wife, Alma, or could it be their teenage chauffer, Stoner? The tabloid sensation of the interwar years, the Rattenbury case is a gripping murder story and a heartbreaking romance. It is the tale of a glamorous, highly strung woman who dared to challenge the status quo, only to be suffocated by the narrow conventions of 1930s Britain. With a wealth of fascinating detail and access to brand new evidence, Sean O'Connor brings this true story to life.
