Murder In Room 1406 by Wensley Clarkson

"Slumped in the closet, his neck hooked to the clothes rail with a shirt, his face hooded by a pillowcase, lay the body of a young man naked from the waist up." This scene in a hotel room at the Carrera Hotel in Santiago, Chile begins one of the most sinister mysteries in the recent history of British espionage. The murdered body was that of a young, ex-RAF pilot. The official cause of death offered by the British government: suicide. However, the Chilean judge charged with investigating the death found his progress hindered by British officials, they even implied that the former RAF man had been committing perverted sexual practices. In this book, investigative journalist Wensley Clarkson aims to uncover the truth behind this horrifying death. What was he doing there? Were the government lying? And what were they afraid of?
