English Summary/英文概要: The royal family’s darkest secret and the establishment cover-up.
Never told before, this is the story of Edward, the Prince of Wales, the true love of his life, and the murder of an Arab playboy. It takes place in maisons de rendevous, luxurious chateaux in the French countryside providing hospitality for the British upper classes, the richest food, the finest wines and the most beautiful women - in Paris in the Ritz and the demi-monde - where many of the women came from - and an exclusive location in London where the murder was committed. This major royal scandal, superbly covered up by the Royal Household and the judiciary has remained secret ever since.
The Prince, the Princess and the Perfect Murder is the product of several years’ research, accessing unpublished documents held in the Royal Archives and private collections in England and France.

Awards/获奖情况:安德鲁•罗斯将这一案件剖析为一个个惊人的细节,使之成为一个个耸动的全新事实证据。(《时代》)
这个有关于玛格丽特的故事的精彩之处不仅在于其揭示了人物的魅力性格,更是突出了当时时代背景之下的社会历史---不论是巴黎还是开罗,都是在熠熠闪光的同时也充满着颓废堕落之气。安德鲁•罗斯本人便是一名法官,而他对于审判过程的通篇描述更是精彩至极。(《观察家》)
罗斯为我们创作了一部精彩的作品,他优雅的文风和对于细节之处的犀利观察更是为通篇增色良多。.(联合新闻社)
Andrew Rose cracks the case in dramatic detail, turning up compelling new evidence. (The Times)
The story of Marguerite...is fascinating not only for what it reveals of this far from appealing personality but for the social history of the time and of that glittering and decadent world, both in Paris and Cairo. Andrew Rose was himself a judge and his lengthy account of the trial is magnificent. (The Spectator)
Rose has written a gripping book, enhanced by his elegant style and sharp eye for detail. (Press Association)
