The trial of Mrs May Miles, in the small city of Winchester in 1915, caused a sensation. The Miles farm was a working farm, it was too much for Alfred the owner to manage on his own, so he took a partner, and then events started to happen. First a milkmaid suddenly took off without a word, even leaving her wages unclaimed. Later Alfred was to die with gastric fever, leaving the farm to his wife May. Then the body of a young girl was found in the farmland fields, brought the police to the farm to investigate, when Robin Conman was found dead in the farm's Well, May was charged with murder and sentenced to hang. In a different part of Winchester, Elizabeth and her parents lived a quiet and happy life. This happy life was soon to be interrupted, when one night walking home Elizabeth was attacked and raped. That was the third rape took place in less than a year. Detective Inspector Noal and his trusted Sergeant Chris Hardie of Winchester Criminal Investigation Department, investigated the murders, which seem to have no motive or reason and also investigated the rape cases. All these cases were so complicated, but after many twists and turns, they were able to solve the cases.
