It was the biggest funeral Chicago had seen since Lincoln's. On May 26, 1889, 4000 mourners proceeded down Michigan Avenue, followed by a crowd 40,000 strong, in a howl of protest at what commentators called one of the ghastliest and most curious crimes in civilised history. The dead man, Dr P.H. Cronin, was a respected Irish physician, but his brutal murder uncovered a web of intrigue, secrecy, and corruption that stretched across the United States and far beyond. Gillian O'Brien tells the story of his murder from the police investigation to the trial.
