On February 1, 1910, music hall performer Belle Elmore vanished from her home, alarming friends in the Music Hall Ladies' Guild. Their demand for an investigation unearthed a gruesome secret and launched an international manhunt for her husband, medical fraudster Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen. Ethel Le Neve, Crippen's typist and lover, fled with him in disguise; Hallie Rubenhold asks whether she was only an innocent girl in thrall to an older man, and whether Crippen's first wife, Charlotte, died under equally sinister circumstances. Story of a Murder centers the women usually unheard in this infamous case, among entertainers, lawyers, detectives, medics, and liars at the dawn of the modern era.
