Earth to Earth — John Cornwell

On a September day in 1975, amid the pungent smells of ripe apples and falling leaves, Robbie, Francis and Alan Luxton were found shot to death on the remote Devon Farm that had belonged to their family for hundreds of years. Reclusive, eccentric, and miserly, the two brothers and a sister shared secrets no one ever suspected until their mysterious deaths brought attention to their strange lives. In a saga reaching back over generations, author John Cornwell probes the verdant surface of the peaceful Devonshire countryside to unearth the truth about a formidable family... to uncover a poignant tale of madness, love, and tragedy... to answer the dark questions about how they lived and why they died. --- from book''s back cover
