Involving murder, mayhem, espionage, sexual scandal and the Beast 666, this fully
illustrated biographical investigation into the tragic death of Ka Cox at
a lonely, haunted cottage in Zennor is perhaps the strangest story to have
ever come out of Cornwall. Involving a large and larger-than-life cast of
characters, including the 'handsomest young man in England', Rupert
Brooke, the climber George Mallory, the mad, babbling psychotherapist,
Meredith Starr, and the rip-roaring composer, Peter Warlock, the narrative
unwinds a tangled tale that enlists the embattled remnants of the
Bloomsbury Group, the decadent acolytes of Fitzrovia, a young woman's
involvement with a notorious magician, occult orgies in the grounds of a
great house climaxing in a flourish of grand guignol when Bob Fabian, ace
sleuth of Scotland Yard, joins the ensemble as he seeks to find the
perpetrator of the horrific 'witchcraft murder' of Lower Quinton.
A superb, highly
illustrated, large-format paperback of nearly 200 pages, 14 UK pounds,
including P&P
