Secret Archives — Volume IV: The Last Witness

Ten people who knew too much — and what remained after they died.

A CIA scientist who went through a tenth-floor window. A writer struck by an umbrella on a London bridge. A plutonium worker driving to meet a reporter with a folder of documents. A minister found beneath a window two weeks after a coup. A UN Secretary-General in a plane over Africa. A former FSB officer with a pot of tea. A weapons inspector on a hill. A codebreaker in a locked bag. A journalist in a hotel bath. And a priest whose killers were convicted — while nobody asked who gave the order.

This book does not claim they were all murdered. It separates the cases settled by courts, those formally open, and those with an official answer disputed by the investigators themselves. And it shows six things that recur in all ten.
