In 1875, the beautiful widow Florence Ricardo married Charles Bravo, a dashing barrister. One night, four months after the wedding, Bravo collapsed. For the next fifty-five hours, with some of London's most distinguished physicians in attendance, he suffered a slow and agonizing death. All the doctors agreed that he had been poisoned. The dramatic investigation that followed was covered in sensational detail by the press. The finger of suspicion pointed at various times at suicide, at Mrs Cox, the housekeeper, at George Griffiths, a stableman with a grudge, and at Florence Bravo herself...Here, using new evidence, the author demonstrates conclusively who really murdered Charles Bravo.
