250pp+illus. Green cloth just very slightly rubbed at extremes with gilt titles, endpapers browned, some foxing mainly to fore-edge. Top-edge-gilt. The story of the 44-year-old Frenchman who came to England in 1862, eventually taking up a teaching post at a private academy in Edinburgh. He seduced a 15-year-old pupil and married her in 1868 having made her pregnant. After three more children he took to ill-treating his wife and as his career failed, boasted that he could kill her and avoid detection. Shortly after insuring her life Elizabeth was found unconscious, apparently from a gas leak but a post-mortem revealed poison.
