A midnight blaze kills an elderly woman but was it a tragic accident? Laura and Iain dig into the story of Sidney Harry Fox, a con-man with a deadly plan.

A late-night fire tears through Room 66 at a hotel in Margate. One guest runs for help, another is pulled from the smoke, but it’s already too late. As investigators begin to piece together what happened that night, a different kind of story starts to emerge.

Laura and Iain dive into a case that rocked 1920s Britain, where the truth may have been lost in the flames.
