Joe Pompeo’s “Blood & Ink” investigates the notorious 1922 double murder of a high-society minister and his secret mistress, a Jazz Age mega-crime that propelled tabloid news in the 20th century.
On Sept. 16, 1922, the bodies of Reverend Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills, choir singer in his church married to the church sexton, were found on an abandoned farm outside of New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Blood & Ink freshly chronicles what remains one of the most electrifying but forgotten murder mysteries in US history.
It also traces the birth of American tabloid journalism, pandering to the masses with sordid tales of love, sex, money, and murder.
