Overview: As warm sunshine bathes the streets of Paris in the late 1800s, lively young debutante May meets cotton merchant John Tyler. Far from a picturesque romance, life with the boorish trader sours as they move to Manchester and May finds herself trapped in a world of hostile servants and neglect. When Tyler meets his end from an overdose of arsenic—the drug which he prescribed himself as a kind of panacea—May is dragged into a trial coloured by the public’s hunger to paint her as a beguiling murderess.
Based on the real-life trial of Florence Maybrick in 1899, this novel unfolds the gripping tale of a case clouded by sensation, its unsolved mysteries and the untold story of the human being at its heart. First published in 1943 and filmed as The Mark of Cain in 1947, this edition marks the return of a classic.
