George R Sims - The Haverstock Hill Murder
A desperate mother commissions Victorian lady detective Dorcas Dene to save her son from the gallows. Stars Lucy Paterson.
A desperate mother commissions renowned Victorian lady detective Dorcas Dene to save her son from the gallows - accused of the brutal murder of his wife.
Former actress, Dorcas has her work cut out to solve the case given that the victim has named her husband as the assailant with her dying breath!
Humorous, forensically logical, and a resourceful mistress of disguise, Dorcas Dene, is one of the better-drawn stars from the golden age of the English detective short story.
Written by George R Sims and dramatised by Roger Danes.
