The Killing of Georgie Moore: A True-Life Victorian Mystery

On December 20, 1881, seven-year-old Georgina Moore vanished from outside her school in Pimlico, London. Had she just gone missing or was this another in the string of child abductions that had plagued the capital in recent times?

Neighbourhood gossip thought otherwise. It fixed responsibility for the disappearance squarely on a local woman named Esther Pay, who until recently had been the mistress of Georgie's father. But when Scotland Yard detectives came calling, sexy, sassy Esther just laughed them off, flaunting a seemingly impregnable alibi.

But the detectives kept digging and in doing so uncovered an almost unbelievable saga of sex and betrayal that would lead to one of the most sensational trials ever heard in a Victorian courtroom.

In The Killing of Georgie Moore, noted forensic science author Colin Evans presents a never-before-told story that is sure to appeal to true-crime aficionados everywhere.
