Diana

In the early hours of 31 August 1997, a Mercedes carrying Princess Diana, Dodi Al Fayed and Trevor Rees-Jones struck a pillar inside the Alma tunnel in Paris. The driver, Henri Paul, along with Dodi and Diana, died in the crash, and Rees-Jones was gravely hurt. Beyond those basic facts, the account of that night is murky and largely unknown.

David Cohen had no plans to look into the death. A dependable contact, however, asked him to travel to Geneva and hear an extraordinary story. That meeting drew him into the case of a young Englishwoman who, as he came to see, had been badly out of her depth among drug traffickers, weapons dealers and intelligence agents. The book sets out his answers to some of the most disturbing questions about the events of that night. It explains why the Mercedes was heading along the wrong route to Dodi's apartment, and it examines damning evidence about the owner of the notorious Fiat Uno. It also describes Henri Paul's real connection to MI6, which the source gives as M16.

Finally, drawing on years of research, Cohen traces the connections between The Order of the Solar Temple and the circumstances surrounding Diana on her final night. The cult's members, among them Princess Grace of Monaco, died in a string of suspicious incidents.
