  The Serious Fraud Office is Britain's most controversial crime-fighting organization, generating admiration and contempt in almost equal measure. It has known triumph with the Guinness convictions, disaster with the acquittal of the Maxwell brothers, and ridicule with Roger Levitt's derisory sentence of community service. In addition, it dealt with Peter Clowes, George Walker and Asil Nadir. This book provides the background story of the Serious Fraud Office's turbulent history. Including many interviews with Britain's top fraud investigators as well as some of the SFO's most famous targets, it is published to coincide with a six-part television series.

  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.
