Description:
<DIV><B>The riveting true story of decadence, deception, and murder among British aristocrats in colonial Kenya</B><BR /><BR />In 1941, with London burning in the Blitz, a group of hedonistic English nobles partied shamelessly in Kenya. Far removed from falling bombs, the wealthy elites of &ldquo;Happy Valley&rdquo; indulged in morphine, alcohol, and unrestricted sex, often with their friends&rsquo; spouses. But the party turned sinister in 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 was found dead, a bullet in his brain. The murder shocked the close-knit community of wealthy expatriates in Nairobi and shined a harsh light on their louche lifestyle.<BR /><BR />Three decades later, author James Fox researched the slaying of Lord Erroll, an unsolved crime still sheathed in a thick cloud of rumor and innuendo. What he discovered was both unsettling and luridly compelling.&#160;<I>White Mischief&#160;</I>is a spellbinding true-crime classic, a tale of privileged excess and the wages of sin, and an account of one writer&rsquo;s determined effort to crack a cold and craven killing.<BR /></DIV>
