On June 27, 1933, the inhabitants of Le Mans, France, wake to a crime scene that sends shivers down their spines. The previous day, the otherwise quiet town had been rocked by the gruesome murder of Léonie and Geneviève Lancelin, a mother and daughter found brutally slain in their own home. Their bodies bear the marks of a frenzied attack, covered in ghastly wounds, eyes gouged out—a scene of unspeakable horror.
