In 1930s London, five legendary women crime writers, including Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie, form a secret society called the Queens of Crime. Their mission: to solve a real-life murder that has baffled the authorities. A young English nurse is found strangled in a French park, and the circumstances point to a seemingly impossible crime.
