There's no way to prove it now. I kinda doubt the book will even sell.

I spoke with Monika on the phone a few days before she died. She had everything to live for, in particular, projects such as an exhibition of her paintings in a Buddhist Temple in Japan. I was also at her funeral. Uli Jon Roth conducted it. Nobody close to her believed she took her own life. But she'd just released her book 'The Inner World of Jimi Hendrix', in which she wrote about the circumstances of Jimi's death. I believe she and Jimi were both murdered. I don't think this is far fetched - it happens, particularly where there is a lot of money and self-interest (the protection of) involved. Jeffery certainly had the mafia connections. Jimi spoke with his lawyer about ending his contract with Jeffrey, he was fed up with the way he stifled his career; unfortunately this lawyer was apparently also acting for Jeffrey.
