Blood Relations Graphic

“Oh, Lizzie, you didn’t—did you?” 

On August 4, 1892, someone used an axe to kill Lizzie Borden’s parents. News of the murder and the sensational trial that followed commanded national headlines for over a year. It remains an intriguing cold case. In Pollack’s story, a savvy actress casts herself in the role of private investigator. Can she coax out Lizzie’s truth with the performance of a lifetime?
