Beschreibung
'A riveting read. a dark story of murder and deceit with verve and insight' John Woolf, author of The WondersTHE LIFE AND DEATH OF A 19TH-CENTURY CIRCUS LEGENDOn 28 November 1911 a retired showman died violently at his home in North London. Known to the world as Lord George Sanger, he was once the biggest name in show business, and was venerated as a national institution. The story read like a popular crime thriller: a merciless killer; a famous victim; sensational headlines; a desperate manhunt laced with police incompetencies and a dramatic and unexpected denouement. But for over a century, questions have persisted. Weaving in the story of George's rise to fame and the history of Britain's entertainment industry, The Killing of Lord George uses previously unpublished material to reveal the true story behind the brutal crime that shocked Edwardian England.
