The Monte Carlo Trunk: Vere St. Leger Goold
August 1907. A leaking steamer trunk at Marseille station. Inside: a woman’s dismembered body. The man who packed it had once reached the Wimbledon final.
Alexander Lawson tells the story of Vere St. Leger Goold — Irish tennis champion, gambler, and the only Wimbledon finalist ever convicted of murder — and the killing of Emma Levin in Monaco’s Villa Menesini.
Roulette, borrowed titles, a thousand-franc debt, and the crime the papers called the Monte Carlo Trunk Murder.
