Summary: "Trial of William Palmer" by George H. Knott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the infamous trial of William Palmer, a surgeon accused of poisoning John Parsons Cook in 1855. The book delves into the legal proceedings, the key players involved, and the complex medical and circumstantial evidence presented during the trial.
