Under the quiet facade of an Edwardian market town, a single act of violence could leave a scar that lasted for generations.

In 1909, the peaceful streets of Mullingar were shattered by the brutal murder of Mary Walker, a young post-office worker whose lifeless body was found along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Her throat had been cut and the crime sent shockwaves through the town and the wider province, laying bare the fragile line between respectability and savagery.
