From the creators of Small Town Dicks comes a story about the first modern murder investigation...
It was a crime like no other, unleashing horrors not seen since Jack the Ripper.
On a crisp autumn morning in 1935, a brother and sister out for a walk in the Scottish countryside stumbled upon dozens of packages containing dissected human remains. Who - or what - could have done this?
Now largely forgotten, the Ruxton case grabbed worldwide attention. A real-life Agatha Christie mystery, the gruesome details of the murders would shock the public and test the ability of police to keep the public safe.
The case was also the birthplace of modern forensic science. It would alter the course of how murders are investigated.
