The definitive history of the first six months of the 2020 global coronavirus pandemic, the enemy that would change the world forever.In the final days of 2019, a new and deadly virus was quietly spreading through the city of Wuhan, China. Within six months it would kill half a million people worldwide, infect a further 10 million, and change the way we live, work and play forever. Now, reporters Dylan Howard and Dominic Utton, collaborating from New York and London-infection hotspots in what would become two of the worst-hit nations on Earth-have together mapped the rise, spread and impact of the virus . . . and uncovered some explosive revelations.COVID-19: The Greatest Cover-Up in History-From Wuhan to the White House delivers the truth about what is undoubtedly the biggest political scandal of our time. It shows in unprecedented detail how governments in China, the UK, and the US not only failed to protect their citizens from the threat of the disease, but also actively conspired to put their own political and economic ideologies above the lives of ordinary people.From early attempts by Beijing to silence any reports of the virus to the inability of the WHO to act decisively; from warnings received and ignored by President Trump to decisions taken by the UK government that directly led to the loss of tens of thousands of lives; from whispers of military experiments to outlandish 5G conspiracy theories, Howard and Utton separate fact from fiction, science from hysteria, and expose a trail of dead bodies, willful mismanagement, incompetence, arrogance, deliberate cover-ups, and outrageous lies that raise serious questions about who is really responsible for the hundreds of thousands killed by COVID-19.Through vigorous investigations, dedicated reporting, and exclusive first-person sourcing, this book unearths a more complex understanding of the rise, spread, and consequences of the first six months of the pandemic than has yet been seen, and exposes shocking revelations about the roles and motivations of the American and British governments in the crisis.The true story of COVID-19 is not just that of a silent killer that suddenly invaded the world but also the scandal of a global tragedy that could have-and should have-been prevented. The real number of deaths and infections from the virus will never be known. The figures have not only been underreported in China, but also by supposedly transparent governments in the West for reasons less connected with public safety and more to do with their own mendacity, incompetence, and corruption.Written with the urgency and tension of a thriller novel but grounded in rigorously factual reporting, this book is the essential read on the most horrifying scandal of our age.

A Hard-Nosed Investigation Into Hollywood's Most Enduring Mystery For thirty-five years, it has been a riddle which has gripped the world. Part love story, part tragedy, it has all the elements of a Hollywood blockbuster: a beautiful actress, a handsome leading man, a brooding sidekick . . . and a moment of sickening terror with the most horrific consequences. When Natalie Wood-one-time America's sweethearts and star of West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause, and Miracle on 34th Street-was found washed up in her nightdress in the cold waters off Catalina Island, California, on Thanksgiving weekend 1981, it initially looked like a freak accident. She had been holidaying with husband Robert Wagner and film co-star Christopher Walken on board Wagner's yacht The Splendour when somehow, in the dead of night, she lost her footing and fell into the water. The coroner's initial verdict: accidental drowning. The coroner was wrong. For the first time, the real story of Natalie's final moments can be told-and it's every bit as monstrous as anything Hollywood scriptwriters could dream up. Forbidden affairs, twisted lies, sex, betrayal, murder, pay-offs, and a cover-up that continues to this day. Internationally renowned journalist Dylan Howard has spent six years investigating Natalie's fateful final hours-and the immediate aftermath. After sifting through hundreds of pages of testimony, coroners reports, police statements and private journals, as well as amassing dozens of exclusive new interviews and witnesses, he's ready to reveal the shocking truth about the death of Hollywood's golden girl . . . and finally demand justice for Natalie Wood.

An unflinching new investigation into the crime will seek to finally secure justice for JonBenét Ramsey.

Reveals Shocking Revelations about Prince Harry, Megan Markle, and the British Royal Family-and the Divisive Rifts Between Them

"This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. My husband is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry." ?Letter written by Princess Diana, late 1996It is a moment that remains frozen in history. When the Mercedes carrying Diana, Princess of Wales, spun fatally out of control in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris in August 1997, the world was shocked by what appeared to be a terrible accident.But two decades later, the circumstances surrounding what really happened that night?and, crucially, why it happened?remain mired in suspicion, controversy, and misinformation. Until now. Dylan Howard has re-examined all of the evidence surrounding Diana's death?official documents, eyewitness testimony and Diana's own private journals?as well as amassing dozens of new interviews with investigators, witnesses, and those closest to the princess to ask one very simple question: Was the death of Princess Diana a tragedy…or treason?Diana: Case Solved has uncovered in unprecedented detail just how much of a threat Diana became to the establishment. In these pages you will learn of the covert diaries and recordings she made, logging the Windsors' most intimate secrets and hidden scandals as a desperate kind of insurance policy. You will learn how the royals were not the only powerful enemies she made, as her ground-breaking campaigns against AIDS and landmines drew admiration from the public, but also enmity from powerful establishment figures including international arms dealers, the British and American governments, and the MI6 and the CIA.And, in a dramatic return to the Parisian streets where she met her fate, the two questions that have plagued investigators for over twenty years will finally be answered: Why was Diana being driven in a car previously written off as a death trap? And who was really behind the wheel of the mysterious white Fiat at the scene of the crash?
