Product details

"White Mischief: The Murder of Lord Erroll" by James Fox is a nonfiction true-crime classic that explores the decadent, scandalous, and ultimately fatal lifestyle of British aristocrats living in colonial Kenya during the early 1940s. The book centers on the mysterious murder of Josslyn Hay, the 22nd Earl of Erroll, who was found dead with a bullet in his head in January 1941. The murder shocked Nairobi's close-knit British expatriate community known as the "Happy Valley set," infamous for their indulgence in alcohol, drugs, and sexual liaisons.

James Fox investigates the hedonistic and complex social milieu of these wealthy expatriates, focusing on Erroll's affair with Diana, the wife of Sir Delves Broughton, who was ultimately the prime suspect but never convicted. Divided into two parts, the book first details the wild lifestyle and relationships within the Happy Valley community, then shifts to Fox's painstaking journalistic investigation several decades later, uncovering new evidence and personal accounts.
