While today's news are filled with shocking crimes with awful details, they are as random and senseless as the ones of the 19th century. Starting on Sunday, June 23, BBC America's critically-acclaimed original crime drama, COPPER, returns, set in the tumultuous year of 1865 with Detective Kevin Corcoran examining the evil that lurks in Five Points and beyond. Today, through June 24, we're giving you a chance to exercise your skills of detection and win an iPad Mini and a copy of Gotham at War: New York City, 1860-1865. Five runners-up will receive COPPER's first season on DVD.
We're changing the names of the characters and not giving specific locations—Detective Corcoran didn't have Google back then! Then give your best answer, via the form below, for your chance to win. (Gothamist LLC contest rules apply.)
