Hardback. Roger de la Burde, a wealthy scientist and art collector, who wore ascots, claimed he was a Polish nobleman, bowed to women - and then routinely propositioned them. In 1992, Burde was found dead on his Virginia estate, with a single bullet wound in his forehead. The author explores the layers of mystery surrounding this strange man's death. Did he, as the local deputies at first assumed, commit suicide? Or had he, as a state police investigator later decided, been killed? And if so, by whom? The longtime girlfriend? The pregnant mistress? A cuckolded husband? A disgruntled business associate? Illus. 360pp. lge 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in f. dw.
