Brian Jones, founder member of the Rolling Stones, was found dead in the pool at his dream home on 2 July 1969.

The official verdict was misadventure. Yet for 25 years rumours have persisted that Jones's death was not a drink-and-drugs tragedy, but murder.

Piecing together eye-witness accounts and official records, world-renowned Rolling Stones expert Geoffrey Giuliano traces the actual sequence of events that led to the death of the band's former leader.
Tragic and chilling, this real-life crime story leaves no doubt that here, at long last, is the full and brutal truth.

From Brian Jones's birth and unhappy childhood, through his relationships with family, friends and the women who bore his children, to the emergence of the Rolling Stones as the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world, Giuliano paints a riveting and illuminating picture of a flawed genius, and the decade that spawned him.
