A CONSPIRACY OF CROWNS The True Story of the Duke of Windsor and the Murder of Sir Harry Oakes.

Hardback. In July 1943 the scorched and bloody body of multi-millionaire businessman Sir Harry Oakes was found in a partly burned bed in his home in the Bahamas. Within 48-hrs., after the most cursory investigation, Oakes' son-in-law Alfred de Marigny was arrested and charged with the murder. The trial lasted 32 days and once over, even though he had been acquitted, his life lay in ruins. Now for the first time, de Marigny tells his own story, revealing what really happened.
