In 1910 Cora Crippen, an unsuccessful music-hall artiste known as Belle Elmore, was murdered by her husband Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen, an American quack doctor, at their London home. During a search of the house, Scotland Yard found her remains under the floor of the cellar, and Crippen's subsequent attempt to escape across the Atlantic with his young mistress Ethel Le Neve fascinated the world, as did his Old Bailey trial and execution. This book is compiled from the surviving files of Scotland Yard, the Central Criminal Court, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Home Office.
