TAGLINE: While vacationing in Paris 20 years ago, the lives of an American family collide with the fatal automobile crash of the world’s most beloved Princess. INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY.
Princess Diana was killed on August 31, 1997 in an automobile collision in Paris. Where were you when you heard the news? Everybody has an answer, but nobody has an answer quite like Robin and Jack Firestone, the wife-and-husband team who have co-authored this remarkable tome "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY."
Diana fan or not, it matters not, as "this ain't your father's Diana book"... there's WIDE READERSHIP APPEAL in these pages, as "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY" is, at its organic core, an intriguing murder mystery and an international conspiracy-laden crime story... all experienced by a dysfunctional American family who unwittingly get thrust into the entire horrific misadventure, which only serves to further complicate their familial debilitation. Can they emerge unscathed?
Simple happenstance and the capriciousness of life places them at the seminal historic moment of the shocking death of Princess Diana in this dramatic, though breezy and light thriller/drama. A bit off-the-wall at times, yet always laced with a serious dose of wry humor and pathos, this book has the quirky endearing feel of THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL but with the macabre darkness and ironic style of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. With an urbane sensibility coupled with a universally recognized subject matter, "CHASING DIANA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY" is alluring to international audiences. And you'll want to devour the read in one sitting!
Also included in this SPECIAL EDITION volume is a very rare Afterword, as the reader experiences a behind-the-scenes look at the trial that shook Great Britain to its core. After ten years of trying in vain to bring the truth to the forefront, on December 3, 2007, the Firestones were finally called upon to give live testimony in London at the Royal Courts of Justice for the "Coroner's Inquests into the Deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Mr. Dodi al-Fayed." Here, they describe their ordeal for the first time ever in print.
And you'll also be treated to Mr. Firestone's personal journal entitled "Tunnel Vision," written down by him immediately after The Event of 8/31/97, which gives his personal insight to: the immediate witnessing of the car crash wreckage site in which lay Princess Diana, the initial French investigation, the police and the paparazzi and the motorcycle and the car activity in the Alma Tunnel that night. His words speak to the relentlessness and the restlessness of the news media that, even now, attempts to control our lives.
To sum it up: you've NEVER read a Diana book, or ANY book, quite like this one. It is the ultimate "you are there" experience, so buckle your seat belt and enjoy the ride... er, read... as we set the dials on the Wayback Machine for 1997.
