Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the chilling case of Lydia Sherman, a seemingly ordinary woman accused of eleven murders through arsenic poisoning in the late 19th century. The author meticulously reconstructs the events surrounding the deaths of her husbands, children, and others, drawing upon court transcripts, witness testimonies, and medical reports. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a society grappling with the emergence of forensic science and the evolving understanding of criminal psychology. As the investigation deepens, the reader is confronted with questions about the nature of evil, the motives behind such heinous acts, and the limitations of justice in a time before modern detection methods.
