Brian Jones: Who Killed Christopher Robin? The truth behind the murder of a Rolling Stone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOK SYNOPSIS
In 1969, The Rolling Stones' founder Brian Jones was found dead in the swimming pool of his home, Cotchford Farm, AA Milne's old house. Through exhaustive research, Terry Rawlings has amassed evidence contradicting the official Accidental Death verdict and in this book, he names Jones' murderer. The first ever paperback edition is timed to coincide with a Hollywood movie about Jones's life and death.

I read this some time ago - it was first published in the early 90s.

Same here Jan. I read all the books on the subject that I'm aware of. And Christoper Robin was an excellent one. There's simply no doubt in my mind that Frank Thoroughgood done the deed. That part is crystal clear.
What's less clear is how he got away with such a blatant crime, and that brings to mind the role of the powerful and hugely wealthy Stones organization, who Thoroughgood directly reported to. Specifically Tom Keylock, who was in perfect position tocover up a murder. Hell, there were all the trademarks of a classic cover: bonfire of the victim's belongings immediately after the crime (like with Pat Tillman), a truncated investigation, threatened/assaulted witnesses. Someone with clout shut the investigation down.
This is not a big picture crime in my opinion, in the sense that the murders of John Lennon and Bob Marley were deep political murders due to the popularity, power, and political activism of the artists. But it is a bigger crime than just Frank Thoroughgood deciding to go all postal on Jones' ass on the spur of the moment. Thoroughgood knew he could get away with it, knew he could intimidate witnesses the second he got out of the pool, knew that the power of the Stones machine was behind him. He knew that the Stones hated and feared Jones because he was the spirit and soul and SOLE founder of the band, and he was going on the start another band --reportedly with John Lennon, but I have no idea if that's true. (Recent descriptions of him as A founding member are BS; he was THE founding member.)
Of course the cover up will continue, but it's good that it's getting a bit of publicity nonetheless.
