A Conspiracy of Crowns by Alfred de Marigny is subtitled The True Story of The Duke of Windsor and The Murder of Sir Harry Oakes. It tells the truth about a sensational murder and scandal that knocked news of World War ll right off the front pages. The author, de Marigny, framed for the heinous crime, points a finger at his chief persecutor - the wartime governor of the Bahamas, The Duke of Windsor. de Marigny traveled to the Bahamas and married Nancy Oakes, daughter of wealthy Sir Harry Oakes. When Oakes bloody body was found in his seaside bedroom, many feared what a full investigation might reveal. They needed a sacrificial lamb and Alfred de Marigny was selected. BUT evidence pointed to others who had reasons to want Oakes dead, including The Duke of Windsor.
