This duplicity has deadly consequences when caught. In 1977, Princess Misha'al bint Fahd al Saud , a 19-year-old granddaughter of the then-ruler, was executed by firing squad after being caught in an adulterous affair. She and her lover, a Saudi boy she had met while studying abroad in Beirut, were beheaded in a public parking lot. Her lover was beheaded shortly after. The case was dramatized in the controversial 1980 British film Death of a Princess , which led to a diplomatic row between the UK and Saudi Arabia and highlighted the brutal reality of royal justice.

The quest for the stories within Light and Fire began, according to the book’s backstory, with a seemingly minor anecdote: a story about a swinging couple in Paris. That remote rumor “sparked the revelation about the secret sex life of Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan”. The initial breakthrough is credited to Indecent Correspondence: Secret Sex Life of Benazir Bhutto , a book written by Pakistani photographer Roshan Mirza in 2013, which claimed to contain written confessions from Benazir’s close friends about her sexual escapades. Once Bhutto’s alleged sexual adventurism was made public, other reporters began investigating whether she had been sexually involved with other world dignitaries—and, soon after, whether other powerful women and royal families had similar hidden histories.
