About the book: 2010 / The famous British author puts forward the hypothesis that Alexander the Great was killed, or rather, poisoned at the age of 32 during a funeral feast in honor of his friend Hephaestion. He offers his own version of the answer to the question: who needed the death of the great commander and why? Adding intrigue to the investigation is the fact that both contemporaries of Alexander the Great and researchers today refuse to acknowledge the fact of the murder.
