Jonathan Rugman has been Foreign Affairs Correspondent at Channel 4 News since 2006. A BAFTA Award-winning journalist, he has reported from Turkey for more than 25 years and is a specialist in Middle East affairs. He has previously worked for the BBC and written for the Guardian and the Observer.
'Reporting at its best. Immaculately researched, sober and
informative. The facts lead, the sensation follows, and is all the
more telling on that account. I was grateful for the wider
political perspective, and for the alarming vision of what's to
come.'
*John le Carré*
'Compulsory reading. Grab this excellent book if you want to
understand why and how Jamal Khashoggi was murdered - and the
uneasy political triangle of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United
States that is behind so many events in the Middle East. Rugman's
book is fast-paced and brilliantly written, with chilling
transcripts of bugged conversations as a Saudi hit squad killed a
journalist - true crime, and high level diplomatic
analysis.'
*Jeremy Bowen, BBC Middle East Editor*
'Reads like a page-turning spy thriller. That it is true makes it
all the more chilling. Engrossing and enthralling.'
*Tim Marshall, author of the bestselling Prisoners of
Geography*
‘A murder mystery where the mystery is why the world has stayed
silent. From the bride-to-be pacing the pavement outside, to the
assassination squad inside with the bone-saw, Rugman has produced a
gripping read revealing what really happened inside the Istanbul
consulate in all its shocking detail. He has done any of us who
believe in a free press and human rights an important service in
making sure this cannot go forgotten.’
*Christina Lamb*
'Gripping in its hideous detail... Far more compelling is
Rugman’s discussion of the rise of the impetuous MbS, the
floundering reaction from the new ruler’s friends in the White
House and the murky global politics that swirl around the incident
like flies around dung. This tawdry tale, skilfully woven by
Rugman, shows again how money trumps morality.'
*Spectator*
‘This new account...still has the power to shock. Rugman’s forensic
investigation leaves us in no doubt that it was the Crown Prince
who ordered Khashoggi’s death’
*Daily Mail*
'[A] powerful account...The Killing in the Consulate is a chilling
book. Rugman... supplies telling new detail, transforming it into a
dark fable of unaccountable power.'
*Observer*
'A remarkable new book, The Killing in the Consulate, by
investigative reporter Jonathan Rugman, peels away the layers of
deceit used by the Saudis to hide any link between the murder and
MbS.'
*The Times*
'[A] superb account of this horrendous affair... The Killing in the
Consulate is rich with telling detail and narrated with unobtrusive
skill. Rugman is especially good on the motivations and
machinations of Erdogan... If you come away from this meticulously
assembled book sensing that MbS is a dangerous man, trust your
instinct.'
*Financial Times*
'Jonathan Rugman's fine book about the murder of Jamal
Khashoggi...describes the murder plot being organised...the killing
itself in its shocking detail and the amateurish attempt at a
cover-up which followed.'
*The Independent*
