Abandoning Paris for the moneyed British colonial society known as Kenya's Happy Valley, she became the lover of womanizer Joss Hay, Lord Erroll. In 1941, Erroll was shot in his car on an isolated road. The crime remained unsolved.\n\nPaul Spicer, whose mother was a confidante of Alice's, uses personal letters and research to piece together what really happened that fateful evening. He brings to life an era of unimaginable wealth and indulgence, where jealousy and hidden passions brewed. At the heart of The Temptress is Alice, whose seductive charms no man could resist, and whose unfulfilled quest for love ended in her own suicide at age forty-two.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312584180\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312584180.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Spicer, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
