This is probably something they won't be expecting. Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this episode. Valerie, welcome. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Okay, so this is all so fascinating. And one of the most eye-opening things I read was about Alec Murdoch's background. He comes from a long line of deeply... ethically problematic people, which I did not know.
All you ever heard about him was that he came from this very storied family. They were lifelong solicitors or like the prosecutors in their town in South Carolina, very well respected. They controlled everything. It was far more nefarious than that. Can you take us back?
Oh, it absolutely was. I mean, I think one of the biggest surprises I had researching this book was that every crime that was eventually convicted of had some echo in the past. And that includes like violence against women or overtures of violence against women.
That includes insurance fraud, like by the side of the road, there was an act of insurance fraud that started the family dynasty, stealing from clients, drug trafficking. There were echoes in the past for every single crime we're talking about, even a boat wreck that caused really a traumatic injury. So that surprised me too. It wasn't just Ellick.
