Notes
Description
All of London is abuzz with the case of Frannie Langton, accused of murdering her employers, renowned scientist George Benham and his eccentric French wife, Marguerite. Crowds pack the courtroom, eagerly following every twist, while hte newspapers print lurid theories about the killings and the mysterious woman being held in the Old Bailey. The testimonies against Frannie are damning. She is a seductress, a witch, a master manipulator, a whore. Frannie claims she cannot recall what happened that fateful evening or how she came to be covered in the victims' blood, even if remembering could save her life. But she does have a tale to tell: a story of her childhood on a Jamaican plantation and the events that led her into a passionate and forbidden relationship. Though her testimony may seal her conviction, the truth will unmask the perpetrators of crimes far beyond murder and indict the whole of English society itself.
