From the Author
It's a true-life detective story with explosive conclusions
In October 1994 a British national newspaper published allegations made by Mohamed Fayed - the owner of Harrods and father of Dodi - that his own lobbyist had corruptly paid two Conservative MPs to support him in Parliament.
The story sparked off one of Britain's biggest political scandals of all time, and led to the destruction of those who had been acccused.
But the true story of the affair is not so much about corrupt politicians, but more a terrifying story of how a wholly false story led to the destruction of an innocent man. It's a story of an omnipotent, incurious, wire-guided British media, and how it was steered by a vengeful man in cahoots with Britain's most influential newspaper.
If you thought that Orwell's 1984 nightmare could never come true - a world of centralised thought where the truth is a lie and the lie is the truth - then think again.
It merely took an extra ten years to arrive......
