The Guinness affair, the Maxwell brothers, Asil Nadir, Roger Levitt, Peter Clowes, George Walker, Nick Leeson - the Serious Fraud Office has been involved with a series of high-profile alleged frauds since its foundation in 1988, and the results of various trials have brought the SFO administration and contempt in almost equal measure. In this work, Mark Killick goes behind the scene of the SFO. With access and sources - including interviews with many of the SFO's most notable targets - he tells the inside story, from the dawn raids through to the tireless investigations to the seemingly endless trials.
