Forensic Special Investigator Amy Elizabeth Fletcher of the Metropolitan Police joined forces with Detective Inspector Thomas Dundas between 1898 and 1901 to solve seven of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever committed in London and East Anglia. Fletcher began her career at Scotland Yard at the beginning of a revolution in scientific criminal detection. Fingerprinting and photography were coming into use as were chemical tests and microscopy, giving investigators new and potent tools with which to bring criminals to justice. Join her as she pursues murderers and their fellow malefactors from the highest born to the lowest. Why did the Duke of Umbrage spend fifteen years digging an underground labyrinth? Go with her as she uncovers the truth behind the Duke of Crotchworth’s 'split personality.' Discover how a leading London newspaper reporter sparked public fear and outrage at an attack of zombies. Find out the secret of Aphrodite for Her Complexion.
