The Unseeing is a work of fiction, based on fact. All of the newspaper extracts used in The Unseeing are real, as are many of the details of the crime itself and the subsequent investigation and trial. However, at some points the truth is twisted and characters invented in order to make a better story. The murder of Hannah Brown became known as "The Edgeware Road Murder."
