About This Item
Fourth Estate, 2000. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First edition, first printing. 364pp plus three sections of plate illustrations. Illustrated endpapers. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine (boards clean, square, and sharp). Internally, the letters 'WK2' are written, neatly on the half-title page, else neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped at spine ends). In the early hours of a January morning in 1941 , Capt Josslyn Victor Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll, hereditary High Constable of Scotland and Kenya's Assistant Military Secretary, was shot in the head. His body was shoved into the footwell of hired Buick, which was run off the road. His murder may well have gone unnoticed - an unremarkable detail in a far away corner of the British Empire, in the midst of a world war, if it wasn't for the sensational trial that followed. 8vo
