The policeman gaped in horror  as the woman held out her hand before collapsing into the mud, muttering  \"let me die\" and slipping into a coma. Five days later, she died, her  identity still unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin hours of her discovery on Kidbrooke  Lane, scores of the officers of the Greenwich Division were involved in the  investigation, and Scotland Yard had sent one of its top detectives,  John Mulvany, to lead it. After five days of gathering evidence, the  police discovered the girl's identity: Jane Maria Clouson, a maid in the  house of the renowned Pook family … and she was two months'  pregnant with Edmund Pook's child when she died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurphy carefully  reviews the evidence in the light of twenty-first-century forensic science in  order to identify Jane's killer as Edmund Walter Pook. Using a  surprisingly abundant collection of primary sources, Murphy aims to  re-create the drama of the case as it unfolded, with its many twists and  turns, from the discovery of the body to the final crack of the  gavel-and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49301028602160,"sku":"BDbq6l","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49301028667696,"sku":"ZEbq6l","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD [ZM]","offer_id":49301028700464,"sku":"ZMbq6l","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bq6l-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775792741","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bq6l","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
