Alfred Monson, A Scion Of The Aristocracy, Is Charged With Killing A Young Army Lieutenant, Cecil Hambrough, On The Sprawling Ardlamont Estate. The Worlds Of Crime Fiction And Crime Fact Are About To Collide Spectacularly. Among The Key Prosecution Witnesses Were Two Esteemed Edinburgh Doctors, Joseph Bell And Henry Littlejohn.
