In the Hertfordshire village of Harpenden the Count de Voilement was a mysterious figure whose true identity only emerged after his death in 1923. This story of his last days, based on his letters and newspaper reports, goes inside the mind of the man who was dubbed by one newspaper as "the wickedest man in the world". By Peter Nichols.
