Jill Dando: Her Life and Death

Jill Dando, it seemed had everything. The queen of television's prime time, she was trusted and loved by millions, while at thirty-seven she herself had finally found love. Then one bullet made her Britian's most famous murder. Itwas a crime that took the breath away: cruel but unfathomable. Serb terrorist, criminal hit man, jilted lover or plain madman - the evidence pointed to all, and none. And it raised disturbing questions. Was Dando the person she seemed? Had she in some way invited death? Is any clebrity safe? In a fascinating study of fame and crime, Brian Cathcart charts Dando's rise from gawky schoolgirl to household name and seeks the sources of her huge popularity. Then he dissects the murder, the intensive investigations it prompted and the evidence that led, two years on, to a sensational Old Bailey trial. As he demonstrates, there has never been a case like it. --- from book's back cover
