The crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land, Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard. Whicher believed the unbelievable--that someone within the family was responsible for the murder, but without sufficient evidence or a confession, his case was circumstantial and he returned to London a broken man. Though he would be vindicated five years later, the real legacy of Jonathan Whicher lives on in fiction - he has become the inspiration for the many fictional investigators of today - from the cryptic Sgt. Cuff in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade, to Arthur Conan Doyal's Sherlock Holmes. 650 $a Audiobooks. 650 $a Detectives $x Biography. $x London $x Biography. 650 $a Kent family. 650 $a Murder $x Case studies. $x Wiltshire $x History $x 19th century $x Case studies. 650 $a Murder $x 19th century. $x England $x Wiltshire $x History $x 19th century. 650 $a Whicher, Jonathan. 700 $a Vance, Simon. 856 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=107D948E-B251-4B09-BB0A-B50E66E9EE49 $3 URL 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20111119011325.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20101023011201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1376A94CDE6B11DF9C83A1F56AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
