This non-fiction work critiques the Scottish legal system and explores the conviction of Oscar Slater, a Jewish immigrant who was sentenced to death in 1909 for the brutal murder of an elderly woman, Miss Marion Gilchrist. The book serves as both a plea for justice and a discussion about the flaws and biases within the investigation and trial that led to Slater’s conviction. In this case, the narrative unfolds with the murder of Miss Gilchrist in her Glasgow flat, providing a chilling account of the circumstances surrounding her death. Slater, who appeared vaguely similar to the description given by witnesses, became the primary suspect shortly after it was reported that a brooch went missing from the victim's collection. However, Doyle presents compelling arguments against Slater’s guilt, highlighting inconsistencies and flaws in witness identifications, the absence of incriminating evidence, and the prejudices faced by Slater as a foreigner. Through detailed analysis of the trial proceedings and the mounting evidence that suggests others may have had both means and motive, Doyle challenges readers to reconsider the integrity of the conviction, ultimately advocating for Slater’s innocence and a need for a fair judicial process.
