Description
Arthur Rochford Manby's life was marked by manipulation, extortion, and murder. His 35-year career in these activities began when he arrived in New Mexico from England in 1883, driven by the dream of building an empire in the Southwest. Manby's fortunes rose and fell over the years, but his mental and emotional state gradually deteriorated. He became increasingly eccentric, with few realizing the extent of his decline. A falling out with a group of associates ultimately led to his murder and decapitation in July 1929. This book provides a detailed account of Manby's life and death, shedding light on the events surrounding one of New Mexico's most infamous unsolved crimes.
