To write this book more than 3,900 hours of investigation went into examining new evidence to answer the following five questions: Who hated the Princess? Who wanted her dead? Why did they want her dead? Who cooperated in the coverup? and who profited from the murder? To answer those questions the book also solves these riddles (and many others). -Why did the American Secret Service have 1100 pages of transcription of Diana's phone conversations? -Why did it take Diana's ambulance almost 2 hours to get her to a hospital 4 miles away? -Why did the French police gather eyewitness testimony to the crash and then discard it? -Why did they clean up the crash site so quickly after Diana was pronounced dead? -Why was Mercedes Benz blocked (by both governments) from inspecting the car for defects? -Why did the Mercedes kill its passengers at speeds lower than its crash test rating? -Why has no one investigated the concrete pillar to officially determine the angle of impact? -Who gave the order to break British law and wait from 1997 until 2007 to do an inquest? -Why were all of the traffic cameras in and around the tunnel turned off the night of the crash? If that wasn't enough to garner your interest in this book, ask yourself a simple, logical question. Have you ever been threatened for witnessing a car accident? To date, at least seven witnesses have either been assaulted or had had their lives threatened for witnessing Diana's fatal crash. Forget everything you have ever heard about Diana's death and prepare to be fascinated. This book will not disappoint you.

In 2013 when I published Who Murdered Elvis? I thought that would be the last word on the subject. I was wrong. In the five years since that publication more facts, witnesses, interviews, and incredible personal experiences followed. In one case my life was even threatened.

A mystery, starring Elvis Presley as detective

In the early eighteenth century, a delegation of Iroquois visited Britain, exciting the imagination of the London crowds with images of the “feathered people” and warlike “Mohocks.” Today, performing in a popular Afrodiasporic tradition, “Mardi Gras Indians” or “Black Masking Indians” take to the streets of New Orleans at carnival time and for weeks thereafter, parading in handmade “suits” resplendent with beadwork and feathers. What do these seemingly disparate strands of culture share over three centuries and several thousand miles of ocean? Interweaving theatrical, musical, and ritual performance along the Atlantic rim from the eighteenth century to the present, Cities of the Dead explores a rich continuum of cultural exchange that imaginatively reinvents, recreates, and restores history. Joseph Roach reveals how performance can revise the unwritten past, comparing patterns of remembrance and forgetting in how communities forge their identities and imagine their futures. He examines the syncretic performance traditions of Europe, Africa, and the Americas in the urban sites of London and New Orleans, through social events ranging from burials to sacrifices, auctions to parades, encompassing traditions as diverse as Haitian Voudon and British funerals. Considering processes of substitution, or surrogation, as enacted in performance, Roach demonstrates the ways in which people and cultures fill the voids left by death and departure. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this classic work features a new preface reflecting on the relevance of its arguments to the politics of performance and performance in contemporary politics.
