More about the book
The investigation delves into the mysterious death of Ananda, the young heir to the Siamese throne, who was found dead from a gunshot wound just six months after returning to Thailand in 1945. Despite a lengthy trial that led to the execution of three palace aides for regicide, the author suggests that Ananda's death was likely an accidental suicide. Through insights gained from the Thai royal family's inner circle, the narrative reveals how political motives may have manipulated the aftermath of his tragic demise, leading to wrongful convictions.
