About this episode

In August 1922, Ivy Giberson is found tied up in her home in Lakehurst, New Jersey, while her husband William lies dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Ivy says two burglars broke in and did it. When crack detective Ellis Parker is brought in to take charge of the investigation, he reassures her that he’ll do everything he can to find her husband’s killer. And that’s just what he does, in record time. But the solution he discovers is not quite what she – or anyone else – was expecting.


A Noiser production, written by Roger Morris
