About this ebook

This is an account of the curious murder case in which the sixteen-year-old Constance Kent was the central figure. In a little village in Somerset a small boy was murdered in mysterious circumstances, and suspicion centred on many persons, one after another. Jonathan Whicher, one of the greatest of Scotland Yard detectives, was sent down to unravel the mystery. From the most slender clues he built up a case against Constance Kent, a sister of the victim, and she was arrested. The proceedings were ultimately stayed owing to the agitation from the Public and the Press, and Whicher's career was ruined. Years later the girl confessed to the crime.
