Synopsis

When 19-year old Mary Tirrell died from a violent mysterious illness, her family and her fiancé George Hersey were greatly bereaved, but no one called for an autopsy. Death, swift and unexpected was common in the 1860s. Survivors rarely looked beyond the hand of God for the cause. But four months later when Mary’s elder sister Frances also died from a similar illness, the local doctor grew suspicious and ordered an autopsy. The results proved shocking to her family and friends, and prompted an investigation that tested the powers of police and scientists to bring a killer to justice. As the investigation unfolded, authorities became aware that Frances and her sister were both murdered. But they were not the only women to die at the hand of a cunning killer. A third woman had also fallen victim, but who was the murderer and what made him kill? Beyond the Hand of God recreates a chilling scene of betrayal, murder and the remarkable efforts of police, doctors and scientists working together to bring a killer to justice.
