About the Book
The Devil at His Elbow - Power, privilege, and blood—this is the true story of Alex Murdaugh’s downfall. Alex Murdaugh was a benevolent dictator—the president of the South Carolina trial lawyers’ association, a political boss, a part-time prosecutor, and a partner in his family’s law firm.

The Devil at His Elbow is a transporting journey through Alex’s life, the night of the murders, and the investigation that culminated in a trial that held tens of millions spellbound.

About the Author
Valerie Bauerlein is a national reporter for The Wall Street Journal who writes about small-town America and Southern politics, economics and culture.
