Inhaltsangabe

Just over one hundred years ago, three young men, all under 25, set out from England for the Canadian backwoods - but within days of arriving one was dead and another arrested for murder. The details of the case, and the corrupt trial that followed, captured public attention to a quite incredible extent. The age of mass media was dawning, and newspapers - with the submarine telegraph at their disposal - turned the story into an international cause célèbre. But while everyone had their say, some essential questions remained unanswered: who actually killed Frederick Benwell, and was murder part of the original plan?
