This is tale of the last days of Fleet Street - an expose of the double standards, hypocrisy, lying, cheating and back stabbing at the heart of Britain's public life, by a man who saw it first-hand. Twice editor of "The Daily Mirror", Richard Stott held five editorships in 12 years - a record - and is one of Rupert Murdoch's "three best editors". In a story of political and royal intrigue, he tells of how he restored the paper's image in the wake of Robert Maxwell's death and how he exposed the lies and cover-up of Prince Charles' affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Threatened with prison on more than one occasion, this story is takes no prisoners and is told from the top of the newspaper mountain.
