The true story of the life and mysterious murder of the most
talked-about and glamorous member of Kenya' s notorious Happy
Valley set. Since Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll, was discovered
dead in his car with a bullet through his head just outside Nairobi
in 1941, speculation has not ceased as to the culprit and motive
for his murder. The authorities seemed satisfied with the highly
sensationalised trial of the only suspect, Jock Broughton, the
cuckolded husband of Erroll's last lover, Diana. A not-guilty
verdict was returned after a baffling display of confusing evidence
and clumsy police work. Trzebinski, who has lived in Kenya for 30
years, was not satisfied with the conflicting gossip on the case,
none of whose evidence adds up, including that of the celebrated
White Mischief by James Fox. In this gripping evocation of a
glamorous, decadent and sinister life, Trzebinski uses her renowned
biographer's skill to unlock the mystique surrounding the man, and
the mystery enveloping his death. Her investigations lead her to
astonishing conclusions about the true motive for his murder and a
conspiracy of confusion that finds its source in Whitehall's War
Office.
