      During the roaring twenties, Jessie Miller fled a passionless marriage in the backwaters of Australia. She arrived in London and fell in with the Bright Young Things, gin-soaked boho-chic intellectuals. Captain William Lancaster, married himself and fresh from the Royal Air Force, planned to out-do Lindbergh by flying from London to Melbourne. During their a half-year journey across the globe, the two fell in love. After the crash of 1929 the limelight faded quickly. Jessie, planning a memoir, picked Haden Clarke as her ghostwriter. Their toxic mix of personalities and bootleg booze led to a shocking crime and a trial that scandalized the world. -- adapted from jacket
