'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 1996

It 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 nightβ€”and, crucially, why it happenedβ€”remain mired in suspicion, controversy, and misinformation. Until now. Dylan Howard has re-examined all of the evidence surrounding Diana's deathβ€”official documents, eyewitness testimony, and Diana's own private journalsβ€”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 deathtrap? And who was really behind the wheel of the mysterious white Fiat at the scene of the crash?

About the Author

As a man with unprecedented access to the facts and a reporter who is one of the most feared journalists in Hollywood, investigative reporter Dylan Howardhas cracked open scandals that have brought down the careers of Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Hulk Hogan, and Paula Dean and others.

Howard's sense for news saw him rise to become the undisputed most powerful gossip editor in the world-publishing dozens of salacious tabloid magazines each week, including Us Weekly, The National Enquirer, Star, In Touch, Life & Style, RadarOnline.com, and more.

Described by TheNew Yorker magazine's Jeffrey Toobin as "a tabloid prodigy" and AdWeek as "the king of Hollywood scoops," Dylan also brought to light the hate-fueled audiotapes of Oscar-winning actor/director Gibson blasting former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva; the scandal-plagued death of screen darling Farrah Fawcett; the naming of the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child; the demise of star-on-the-rise politician Anthony Weiner; and the Tiger Woods sex scandal. He also broke the story of the A-list high-stakes poker scam that was later made into the Oscar-nominated film Molly's Game.

Most recently, Howard made a name for himself with a stunning expose of Sheen that revealed Hollywood's most unapologetic hedonist was HIV positive. It also was a story of extraordinary corruption, violence, lies, intimidation, death threats, and millions of dollars paid out in hush money-a story that he chronicled in a first-person essay for The Hollywood Reporter that AdWeek called "jaw dropping."
?
In 2011, Howard was named Entertainment Journalist of the Year at the National Entertainment Journalism Awards, where the judges labelled him the "go-to guy for authoritative showbiz news and analysis on cable and over-the air television." Howard lives in New York City.

Colin McLaren was one of Australia's best detectives; he traveled the world on high-end investigations during the 1980s and 1990s. McLaren faced down the underbelly of Australian crime and his work has been the subject of many police genre documentaries and television series. A film of his own life, based on his hugely successful first book,Infiltration: The True Story of the Man Who Cracked the Mafia, was made in 2011. Colin writes constantly and is a regular adviser to TV and cinema productions. His investigation of Diana's death has been on ongoing project and he has spent years weighing up the evidence and turning his investigator's gaze to uncovering the truth.
