White Mischief: The Murder of Lord Erroll

Description

The riveting true story of decadence, deception, and murder among British aristocrats in colonial Kenya

In 1941, with London burning within the Blitz, a group of hedonistic English nobles partied shamelessly in Kenya. Far got rid of from falling bombs, the rich elites of “Happy Valley” indulged in morphine, alcohol, and unrestricted sex, ceaselessly with their friends’ spouses. But the party turned sinister within the early hours of a January morning for Josslyn Hay, Lord Erroll, who had been enjoying the favors of the beautiful young wife of a middle-aged neighbor. Hay used to be found dead, a bullet in his brain. The murder shocked the close-knit community of rich expatriates in Nairobi and shined a harsh light on their louche way of life.

Three decades later, creator James Fox researched the slaying of Lord Erroll, an unsolved crime still sheathed in a thick cloud of rumor and innuendo. What he found out used to be both unsettling and luridly compelling. White Mischief is a spellbinding true-crime classic, a tale of privileged excess and the wages of sin, and an account of one creator’s made up our minds effort to crack a cold and craven killing.
