The book, entitled Khashoggi & The Crown Prince: The Secret Files was written by a former FT journalist and crime author, writing under the pseudonym Owen Wilson at his fiancée’s request. The book intends to go into in depth details about the circumstances surrounding Khashoggi’s death, including providing many details about the outspoken journalist, once a revered writer in Saudi Arabia who found favour with the Royal Family there, who reign supreme in the country.
At the time of Khashoggi’s death, the journalist had just bought a property and was looking forward to marrying his fiancée, whom he loved very much. The book will make many allegations, including naming the suspects of Khashoggi’s murder, and revealing the many steps believed to have been taken to carefully orchestrate his murder.

It will be published on 2nd March, exactly 150 days after Khashoggi was killed. Publisher Martin Rynja acquired the rights and commissioned the book.
The book will make references to a connection to nuclear weapons, list a number of people that made a recording of the journalist’s final moments, and draw conclusions on how much the Saudi Crown Prince knew about the murder. The book also suggests that Khashoggi had intelligence on Donald Trump that posed a threat to the kingdom.
The validity of this claim is yet to be properly tested, although the widely spread understanding for the U.S based Saudi native was his unrelenting criticism of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon. Turkey claims to have had first access of recorded tapes said to reveal was transpired at the Instabul Consulate that fateful day-copies have reportedly been passed to America and Britain. The book has the potential to lead to defamatory claims, but will do its rounds of great publicity when its time comes next week.

SECRET FILES
The publisher said: “Secret files in Turkey, Saudi, the CIA, MI6, the Mossad contain answers to all our questions yet these governments are hiding them from us. This compelling book reconstructs what is in those files.”
Wilson said: “There are mind-boggling truths hiding in plain sight in the tragic Khashoggi story – this book is the first and possibly the only one to unravel them. Every fact we know or ever will know, except for the testimony of Jamal Khashoggi’s fiancee, has been leaked and manipulated by an intelligence service.”
How much is factual and not fiction will be for readers to decide, but most of its contents is expected to be heart rendering intriguing information that will either fall into the category of exaggerated conspiracy theory of revelation that confirms the already suspected or feeds the aspect of human inquiry yearning for more detail.
Gibson Square is also the publisher of Blowing Up Russia, the only book by poisoned Russian secret service defector Alexander Litvinenko. The publisher plans to issue an updated version of that book next month, along with a revised edition of House of Bush, House of Saud by Craig Unger, the inspiration for Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheit 9/11
