What Will Survive by Joan Smith

In August 1997, a woman as famous for her beauty as for her devotion to humanitarian causes dies in a mysterious car accident. At first, she looks set to pull through, but within hours she is gone. A rapacious media descend upon her family; under the strain of their intrusions, her son punches a member of the pack. The dead woman is not the Princess of Wales, although Diana does unwittingly play a role in the action, but a model and campaigner called Aisha Lincoln.
