The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty tells the gripping story of power, privilege, and downfall in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Alex Murdaugh—once a respected lawyer, political boss, and scion of a powerful legal family—ruled his world with charm, favors, and influence. But when he murdered his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, the century-old Murdaugh legacy crumbled. Journalist Valerie Bauerlein traces the dark history behind the family’s façade—corruption, cover-ups, and scandal stretching back generations. Reporting from courtrooms, marshlands, and Moselle, the family’s 1,700-acre estate, she reveals how Murdaugh nearly escaped justice and how fate, mistakes, and a friend’s betrayal exposed the truth. Vividly written and deeply reported, The Devil at His Elbow unravels the haunting story of a dynasty’s collapse and a man consumed by his own deceit.
