Murdered Midas : a millionaire, his gold mine, and a strange death on an island paradise

Gray, Charlotte 1948- (author.).

Summary: On an island paradise in 1943, Sir Harry Oakes, gold mining tycoon, philanthropist and "richest man in the Empire," was murdered. Despite a sensational trial, no murderer was ever convicted. Rumours were unrelenting about Oakes' missing fortune, and fascination with the Oakes story has persisted for decades. Award-winning biographer and historian Charlotte Gray explores the life of the man behind the scandal. And Gray brings fresh eyes to the bungled investigation and shocking trial in the remote colonial island streets.
