Looks at the life of William James Mudie Larnach, one of New Zealand's enduring historical figures - enduring not only because of the 'monument' he left in Dunedin's Larnach's Castle, but also because of the many scandals he was involved in. His life was a tangled web of cruelty, tragedy, intrigue, success and failure - tragically ending when he committed suicide in Parliament in 1898.
