Crime of the Centuries

Meet Captain Edmund Rutherford: a humble man, dedicated to a life of scholarship in the safe confines of the New Zealand Army. He dwells in his basement library, searching for long-forgotten glory with only the rats and his beautiful assistant Lt. Lilith Mullens for company. Rutherford makes his glorious discovery - that a man put to death for a brutal satanic murder almost 200 years ago was innocent! With new enthusiasm he tries to convince his base commander Cpt. Bruce Nicholson that Bobbie Young - the 'Beastly Barracks Bully' - was cut down in his prime. A taste of war had reformed Bobbie Young and he in turn was aiming to modernise the armed services; his loss of life was a cruel tragedy. Nicholson's rejection of Edmund's life's work hurts all the more because they were once close friends. Determined to get the truth out, Edmund is about to spill everything to the media when he discovers a similar gruesome killing... and is accused of it himself! History repeats in this roller-coaster epic with a twist that would put Walt Disney to shame. A gripping historical crime thriller where not everything is as it seems...
