On 1 June 2001, the heir to the Nepalese throne, Crown Prince Dipendra, donned military fatigues, armed himself with four guns and walked in on a quiet family gathering. Without speaking, he mowed his family down before turning a pistol on himself. While Nepal has been a mecca for trekkers and tourists for fifty years, very few discover what is really going on in this beautiful kingdom tucked into the shadows of Himalayas. In fact it's one of the poorest countries in the world, with a very conservative royal family, and a serious Maoist revolution being fought throughout the countryside in the last few years. Two award-winning journalists have conducted exhaustive interviews with everyone from Maoist guerrillas to members of the royal family, gaining insights into the events behind the massacre. At the heart of the story is the love affair between Crown Prince Dipendra and the beautiful aristocrat, Devyani Rani, that he was forbidden to marry. This fascinating book not only gives a remarkable portrait of modern Nepal but also investigates an extraordinary, colourful crime that took place in a city that looks more in keeping with the fourteenth, than the twenty-first, century.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. First edition. Softcover. Fully Updated. On June 1, 2001 the heir to the Nepalese throne, Crown Prince Dipendra, donned military fatigues, armed himself with 4 guns and walked in on a quiet family gathering. Without speaking he mowed his family down before turning a pistol on himself. But Dipendra did not die, and while lying in a coma was declared king. He was now a living god. Sharing the world's fascination with the crime and captivated by the kind of society that could create such a situation, the authors set out to investigate. Exploring Kathmandu and other parts of the kingdom, they conducted exhaustive interviews with everyone from Maoist guerrillas to members and friends of the royal family, gaining startling insights into the people involved in, and the events behind, the massacre. At the heart of the story is the love affair between Dipendra and the beautiful aristocrat, Devyani Rana, who he was forbidden to marry. Revealing a country where the 21st century mingled uneasily with the 14th, the book is both a stunningly evocative travel and the riveting investigation of an incredible crime.
