Immaculately researched, sober and informative'\u003cbr\u003eJohn le Carré 'Compulsory reading...fast-paced and brilliantly written'\u003cbr\u003eJeremy Bowen After Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was filmed\u003cbr\u003egoing in to the Saudi consulate in Turkey, he was never seen alive again.\u003cbr\u003eWhat happened next turned into a major international scandal, now finally\u003cbr\u003epieced together by Channel 4's BAFTA award-winning Foreign Affairs\u003cbr\u003eCorrespondent Jonathan Rugman. Described by Donald Trump as the 'worst\u003cbr\u003ecover-up ever', this is the first comprehensive account of one of the most\u003cbr\u003enotorious and outrageous murder plots of our time. In The Killing in the\u003cbr\u003eConsulate, Rugman pieces together in minute-by-minute detail the events\u003cbr\u003eafter Khashoggi entered the Saudi diplomatic building on 2 October 2018,\u003cbr\u003eexpecting to receive the documentation that would enable him to marry\u003cbr\u003eHatice Gengiz, patiently waiting for him outside. Little did they realise,\u003cbr\u003ehe was entering a trap, as a 15-man Saudi hit squad had just flown in to\u003cbr\u003ethe country and was waiting for him. Within minutes he had been viciously\u003cbr\u003emurdered and his body was quickly disposed of. The Saudis thought they\u003cbr\u003ewould be able to get away with it all, and concocted a far-fetched story to\u003cbr\u003ecover it up. But what they didn't realise was that Turkey's President\u003cbr\u003eErdogan's security and intelligence agencies had bugged the consulate, and\u003cbr\u003ecaptured the horrific events on tape. Based on confidential sources,\u003cbr\u003edramatic new evidence and in-depth research across several countries,\u003cbr\u003eRugman reveals the context behind the murder and attempted cover-up. He\u003cbr\u003eshows how a power struggle between Erdogan and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince\u003cbr\u003eMohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, had such fatal results. The prince had\u003cbr\u003eseemed to promise a new and more open era for his country, while also\u003cbr\u003einvesting vast sums in arms deals with the West. Inevitably other nations,\u003cbr\u003eincluding President Trump and the USA, were drawn into the affair, which\u003cbr\u003ecreated the biggest crisis in US-Saudi relations since 9\/11. Skilfully,\u003cbr\u003eRugman draws together all the strands to tell a gripping story of one man's\u003cbr\u003etragedy that had global consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Jonathan Rugman\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":50373423333657,"sku":"X48920","price":11.43,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50373423366425,"sku":"X48920","price":9.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50373423399193,"sku":"X48920","price":8.74,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50373423431961,"sku":"X48920","price":8.26,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/1471184757.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1793972360","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/the-killing-in-the-consulate-investigating-the-life-and-death-of-jamal-khashoggi","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
