Charles Delauney Bravo was a British lawyer who was fatally poisoned with antimony in 1876. The case is still sensational, notorious and unresolved. It was an unsolved crime committed within an elite Victorian household at The Priory in Balham, London. Leading doctors, including the royal physician Sir William Gull, agreed that it was a case of antimony poisoning. Charles Bravo took three days to die. With infinite care, Bridges re-creates not only the personalities involved closely or remotely in the crime, but the very atmosphere of mid Victorian suburban life in which it was committed.
