It is quoted in No Ordinary Man that 10 days before he died of prostate cancer at the beginning of 2001, George Carman whispered quietly to his son, Dominic: "I'm not going to be able to do it," he said. "You'd better do it instead". After a lifetime at the Bar during which he had risen to become one of the highest profile barristers in British legal history, Carman's decision to ask his son to write his biography may just have proved to be the one of the few gambles he took that backfired. For sure we get plenty of details and insight into his celebrity trials, involving Jeremy Thorpe, Elton John, Tom Cruise, the Hamiltons, Jonathan Aitken et al, but what sticks in the mind is the portrait of Carman the private man. Dominic pulls no punches as his father emerges as a chain-smoking alcoholic with homosexual tendencies, who repeatedly beat all three of his wives. Some may view this as the ultimate in filial disloyalty, while others may see it as an abusive bully getting his just desserts. More importantly than either, perhaps, it's honest biography. Those who reckon that the great and the good should be exempt from close personal examination, and that they should stand and fall by their achievements, miss several tricks. Getting to the very top often involves a ruthless trampling over the feelings of colleagues, friends and families and it is to Dominic's credit that he is prepared

This work takes you on a journey into the world of the global financial mafia. For six long years, the French judge, Eva Joly, investigated the financial scandal of the state-owned petrol giant, Elf Acquitane. Close to two billion pounds had been siphoned off to pay for luxurious lifestyles and bribes. To her great surprise, Eva Joly was systematically hindered in her quest: she received regular death threats, her private and public telephones were illegally tapped, her home and offices burgled several times. For her courage and steadfastness, Madame Joly paid a high price: four policemen had to guard her life around the clock for the six-year duration of the investigation. 'I had no idea of the extent of the corruption,' she says. 'I'd assumed that people in general respected the laws. But reality outstripped fiction. There was an ocean of fraud at the highest level. Every day I found something new.'
