Critics Review
‘An astonishing account … It is an incredible read’ Carole Cadwalladr, Observer .
To my mind, the best and hottest non-fiction property of the decade is Dan Davies’s book on Jimmy Savile. He had amazing access for years and stuck with the story before anybody knew how interesting it was. His book will be a must-read and will hit British culture like a clusterbomb. I can’t wait
