What leads people to think a particular incident is a conspiracy leading to various theories as to what happened? Have important events occurred through secret plots by malevolent and powerful people? For example, it is said that over a half of Americans believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Also, it is said over a third of Americans still believe that global warming is a hoax. In this book, a selection of twenty-eight true life case stories involving unsolved crimes, mysterious deaths and dastardly deeds, curious disappearances of people and events that never seemed to be truly ' solved' are presented. For example, " The Death of an Emperor: Was Napoleon poisoned?"; " The Whitechapel Murders aka ' Jack the Ripper'; " Bad Booze: Prohibition and Adulterated Alcohol"; " Wings over the Ocean: What happened to Amelia Earhart?"; " The Black Dahlia: Macabre Death of Elizabeth Short"; " Project Sunshine: Bombs, Babies and Radioactive Fallout"; " The Philadelphia Experiment... "; " The Roswell UFO Crash... "; " The Mystery of Santiago Flight 513...; " More than One Killer? Assassination of President John F. Kennedy"; " Bohemian Grove: A Web of Secrets?"; " Paparazzi Pursuit: The Death of Diana, Princess of Wales" just to name a number of earlier cases. Also, included are some other stories which had an element of conspiracy of which the author had some involvement as an expert witness for example, " Misty River Mystery: Deaths of Dr Bogle and Mrs. Chandler"; " A Dog and a Dame in a Ditch: Who Murdered Maureen McLaughlin?" and " The Body in the Bay: Who Killed Katrina Ploy?" History has repeatedly shown that political and corporate identities have conspired against public interests. Conspiracy theories can play an important role in bringing their nefarious deeds to the light - and hopefully, in some cases, to justice and/or closure.'
