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 220 pages. Purchase Direct for Only £12 (Special Offer)

What was Aleister Crowley doing, before the outbreak of World War Two, in Cornwall? And what is the origin of the mysterious rumour that he caused the death of Ka Cox, the former love of Rupert Brooke? Was he spying? Did someone die during a magical ritual? Who were his friends and contacts? All these issues are investigated and explored in a remarkable new study, drawn from mainly primary sources, by Paul Newman. |
