About this episode
In 1860, Mary Emsley, a well-known landlady of the East End of London, is found brutally murdered in her own home. Police openly admit they don't know where to start. Emsley was a miserly, merciless business woman — and universally disliked. When ex-police officer James Mullins places the blame on a local cobbler, it looks as though the crime has been solved. Inspector Tanner of Scotland Yard uses budding forensic knowledge to build a case against Mullins. But is it enough to convict the right man?
