Show Notes

In October 1942, Royal Marines find the badly decomposed body of a woman buried on Hankley Common in Surrey. The gruesome discovery kicks off an investigation by one of Scotland Yard's finest: DCI Edward Greeno. The first mystery is to identify the victim, and police soon discover that she was a nomadic, emotionally troubled young woman called Joan Pearl Wolfie — known locally as the Wigwam Girl, due to the tent-like structures she lived in on the Common. The hunt for her murderer leads DCI Greeno and his team to a French-Canadian soldier on the local barracks. But will the forensic evidence they slowly piece together be enough to get a conviction?
