About this listen

THE BESTSELLING AND CONTROVERSIAL BIOGRAPHY

Britain's leading investigative writer and biographer, Tom Bower turns the full beam of his formidable powers on one of the most controversial figures of present day: Mohamed Al Fayed.

Owner of Harrods, bereaved father of Dodi and instigator of the 'cash for questions' sensation, this book was originally published in 1998 to wide acclaim. But with the recent heinous accusations of sexual misconduct coming to light, this new and updated edition will offer a new focus of Tom Bower's trademark acerbic insight on this controversial figure.

'[Tom Bower] is the Inspector Morse of investigative biographers, a fluent, phlegmatic story-teller and a master of intricacies.' Sunday Times

'Given the extreme difficulty of researching a subject like Fayed, Bower deserves full marks for effort and courage... his Fayed is a "fuggin" good read.' Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph

'A book that displays all the forensic skills he employed in exposing Rowland and Robert Maxwell.' Sunday Times

'...that rare thing - a book by turns so entertaining and alarming that even reading the index is an engrossing experience'. Oliver Burkeman, Guardian

Fascinating

Interesting detail into how Fayed increased in influence in certain areas. Easy to listen to and moved at good pace. It seems sad Fayed didn't use more of his money to focus on Harrods and make it a great place to work and draw in more local people.
