Anotace knihy

How did a man in a white tracksuit shake hands with the Queen on a Tuesday, visit a hospital mortuary on a Wednesday, and walk away from every investigation that ever came close to him?

For fifty years, Jimmy Savile held Britain in the palm of his hand. He raised forty million pounds for charity. He befriended a prime minister. He advised a future king. He was knighted by the Queen and honoured by the Vatican.

He was also, behind the grin and the cigar, the most prolific sexual predator in British history.

This is not a list of what he did. It is a forensic dive into why. Why he wore the costume. Why he kept five homes across five counties. Why he ran two hundred marathons. Why he volunteered, for forty years, in a hospital mortuary. Why he told a reporter, laughing, that he intended to give the country the wrong idea forever.

Every institution that should have stopped him, the BBC, the palace, the police, the church, the NHS, walked away afterwards with the same passive phrase. Mistakes were made.

By whom?

The architecture that let him operate is still standing. Somewhere tonight, a man with a laminated pass in his wallet is walking down a quiet corridor, smiling the smile the country was taught to trust.

You will never look at the safest man in the room the same way again.
