Looking at the Evidence

Beschreibung

"The Sad Store of Burton, Speke, and the Nile is a fascinating whodunit..."--Wall Street Journal "Bliss Carnochan cuts through the mythology surrounding Burton's character and the events leading to Speke's tragic death with a lucid and sensitive analysis of the documents. He does so with relish for his tale and no loss of its inherent drama." --Ann Schlee, Novelist
