His health was fragile, but his spirit was not. Rather than pursue law, he chose to raise racehorses. During a trip to the Shrewsbury races in November 1855, he fell gravely ill. His care was entrusted to the elderly local doctor, Dr. Bamford, and his own friend, Dr. Palmer. Dr. William Palmer, a widower, father, physician, and surgeon, was a figure of trust and respect. But was there a sinister side to him? Was he a cold-blooded serial killer, exploiting his medical skills for malevolent purposes, trying to mask a deadly addiction? This case has been referenced by Dickens, Sayers, Hitchcock, and more, and even popularized the phrase Whats your poison? Tune in for a real-life courtroom drama more riveting than any fiction, keeping you on edge until the very end.
