About this item
The Devil at His Elbow by Valerie Bauerlein offers a searing and comprehensive exploration of the Alex Murdaugh saga, one of the century’s most riveting crime stories. Bauerlein, a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter, delves deep into the life and crimes of Alex Murdaugh, a man whose wealth and influence in South Carolina's Lowcountry masked a web of corruption and violence.
Alex Murdaugh was a towering figure in his community—a powerful trial lawyer, political boss, and prosecutor, with a commanding presence at his family’s sprawling 1,700-acre estate, Moselle. His status commanded both respect and fear, his every move cloaked in privilege. However, the façade of his seemingly untouchable world crumbled when he was accused of murdering his wife, Maggie, and their son, Paul, on a dark summer night.
Bauerlein uncovers the dark roots of Murdaugh’s downfall, linking it to a legacy of corruption and cover-ups by his forebears. From a suspicious midnight suicide to illicit bootlegging operations, the Murdaugh family’s history is steeped in crime and deceit. Despite Murdaugh's attempts to evade justice, his undoing came through a series of fateful missteps and the courageous actions of an insider who refused to turn a blind eye.
Through meticulous research and immersive storytelling, Bauerlein traces Murdaugh's violent downfall from the courtroom to the haunting backroads of South Carolina. The Devil at His Elbow is a gripping account that captures the dramatic unraveling of a man who had everything and lost it all, revealing layers of the case that have remained obscured. 📚❤️
