Abstract

"When the quiet George Stoner, not yet eighteen years old, went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Rattenbury as their chauffeur and odd-jobs man, it was a prelude to one of the most controversial murder cases of the century. Alma Rattenbury had been a musical prodigy as a child violinist and pianist and later became a successful song writer. In the first World War she was awarded the Croix de Guerre for her bravery as a nurse at the Front. Her husband was a distinguished architect who was well-known for having designed some of the most notable buildings in Canada." - Cover
