Summary

Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, was sinisterly murdered only three weeks after he was "fired" from the band. Allegedly drowned in the swimming pool at his Cotchford estate, corroborating witnesses said otherwise - but were suppressed.THE SECRET MURDER OF BRIAN JONES re-examines the facts, personalities, and conflicting accounts related to his death. A crime investigation, it goes beyond all previous efforts, finally connects the dots, and penetrates the dark heart of rock 'n roll.Brian was a sensitive genius, one of the formative figures of the 1960s counterculture, whose creative music explosion helped define its rebellious identity. He fashioned a juggernaut that ultimately destroyed him. And his legacy was ravaged as soon as his body was carted off of his estate. Who orchestrated this? What did they gain? What did the world lose as a result? Why have the facts been suppressed for 56 years now?
