This is a reprinting of the work first published in 1956 by Jarrolds Publishers, London. "The death of Charles Bravo remains an unsolved crime committed within an elite Victorian household at The Priory, a landmark house in London. The reporting eclipsed even government and international news at the time. Leading doctors attended the bedside and all agreed it was a case of poisoning. The victim took 3 days to die but gave no indication of the source of the poison during that time. No-one was ever charged for the crime.
