On the morning of 30 June 1860, young Francis Saville Kent, not yet four years old, was found to be missing from the family home, Road Hill House, in the village of Road in Wiltshire. A search was mounted, and the childโ€™s body was soon found, wrapped in a blanket from his cot and stuffed into a privy in the grounds of the house. His throat had been cut to the bone by some sharp instrument.

After an inept investigation by the local police, the suspicions of Detective Inspector Jack Whicher of Scotland Yard fixed upon the victimโ€™s half-sister Constance Kent, only sixteen at the time of the murder. Golden Age crime writer John Rhode re-examines the case through original reports and source material.

โ€œJohn Rhodeโ€ was one of a number of pseudonyms used by British Golden Age crime novelist Cecil John Charles Street (1884โ€“1964). Born in Gibraltar, Street served in the British Army as an artillery officer. He was wounded three times in combat and won the Military Cross. During World War I he worked as a propagandist for military intelligence. As a crime novelist, Street wrote many stand-alone novels, as well as three series, featuring mathematics professor Dr. Lancelot Priestley (writing as John Rhode); retired naval officer Desmond Merrion (as Miles Burton); and the Perrins Investigators (as Cecil Waye). In 1930, he was a founding member of The Detection Club, a group of prominent British mystery writers.ย
