Crowds pack the courtroom, the newspapers print lurid theories about the killings. But Frannie Langton claims she cannot recall what happened that evening, how she came to be covered in blood. She does have a tale to tell: a story of her childhood on a Jamaican plantation, her apprenticeship under a debauched scientist who stretched all bounds of ethics, and the events that brought her into the Benhams' London home-- and into a passionate and forbidden relationship. -- adapted from jacket. 650 0 $a Slaves $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120522 650 7 $a Trials (Murder) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156368 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 650 7 $a Trials (Homicide) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slaves $x Emancipation $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slavery $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a London (England) $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Gothic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921675 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726755 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Gothic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $2 sears 655 7 $2 sears 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20240611143730.0 $n 11 $p + 1 LP, 1 CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBF5B8A24B9D11EC91DB785B3E3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
