About this Event
JH Members are invited to an evening with special guest speaker and American author Dan Morrison, who will be sharing his latest book with a Jersey connection, 'The Prince and the Poisoner' - the M**der that rocked the British Raj.
If you couldn't make our lunchtime event, or want to find out more, this extended talk is for you!
The Prince and the Poisoner
A crowded train platform in 1930s Calcutta. A painful jolt to the arm. A mysterious fever. And a fortune in the balance. Join us to find out more about a M**der so diabolical in planning, modern in conception, and cold in execution that it made headlines from London to Sydney to New York. And was investigated by E. Henry Le Brocq, Deputy Police Commissioner in charge of Calcutta’s detective department.
Author Dan Morrison, a former New York crime reporter and currently deputy world editor at ‘USA Today’, shares his research into this fascinating story with a Jersey connection, and how he stumbled across it whilst researching something completely different.
Join Dan for a JH Members’ talk and Q&A on his latest novel - a book signing will follow the talk.
‘Dan Morrison has unearthed a fabulous true-crime story and embedded it within a fascinating work of micro history. David Grann has competition.’ ROBERT TWIGGER, author of Walking the Great North Line
PLEASE NOTE: due to the nature of Dan's material, this Members' talk is suitable for 16+ years only.
