The Bookseller tells us that, following his death last week, two books on Jeremy Thorpe are being rushed out:
Probably not, you suspect, but I do like the sound of one character Bloch introduces us to: the Chief Constable of Devon, Colonel Ranulph ‘Streaky’ Bacon.
Little, Brown will be first, releasing Jeremy Thorpe by Michael Bloch on 16th December, less than two weeks after Thorpe’s death.
The book chronicles Thorpe’s “rapid rise and spectacular fall from grace”. ... Bloch’s “magisterial biography is not just a brilliant retelling of this amazing story; years in the making, it is also the definitive character study of one of the most fascinating figures in post-war British politics”, said Little, Brown. ...
Penguin Random House’s Viking, an imprint of Penguin General, will release Conspiracy by Telegraph journalist John Preston in early 2016. ...
Preston will draw on previously unseen material and years of research for his “explosive exposé”.The Daily Mail is already publishing Bloch's revelations under headlines like - "Did Jeremy Thorpe have a gay lover thrown to his death from a yacht?"
Probably not, you suspect, but I do like the sound of one character Bloch introduces us to: the Chief Constable of Devon, Colonel Ranulph ‘Streaky’ Bacon.
