Description
The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty The story of Alex Murdaugh's downfall is one of power, privilege, and blood. This is the true account of the Murdaugh murders, told by a veteran journalist who has become an authority on the case. Alex Murdaugh was a complex figure, a president of the South Carolina trial lawyers' association, a political boss, and a part-time prosecutor, with a reputation for generosity and a family legacy that spanned generations. Behind the façade of respect and fear that the Murdaugh name inspired, a dark history of family secrets and cover-ups lay hidden. When Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son on his family's estate, the fragile balance of his world was shattered. To unravel the roots of his ruin, journalist Valerie Bauerlein reported from the courthouse, the backroads, and the tidal marshes of South Carolina's Lowcountry, revealing a tangled web of crime and deception.
