76 Who Killed Kent Reeks? A Murder Mystery in Wolverhampton

In January 1914, the industrial town of Wolverhampton became the backdrop to a baffling mystery when 24-year-old ship’s engineer Kent Reeks was found shot dead near a disused mine shaft — 90 miles from the Liverpool hotel where he had been staying. Just days earlier, he had arrived from Canada, carrying a large sum of money and travelling in the company of a mysterious man. This little-known true crime case follows Kent’s journey from Australia to England, the cryptic clues left in his wake, and the strange trail of money, ammunition, and unanswered questions that still surround his death.
