108 Psychopaths and Me, (Hardcover)

<p><b>What if your best friend turned out to be a master of deception? </b></p><p>In 2005, Jim Phillips set up a marketing company with his best friend. The business grew and prospered but as the contracts rolled in and the client list expanded, his friend's behaviour became increasingly eccentric.</p><p>And then in 2012, everything unravelled in a spectacular fashion. Jim discovered his friend of twenty years had been deceiving him on a scarcely believable scale, weaving a web of lies so complex that it involved assuming the identities of over 100 people.</p><p><i>108 Psychopaths and Me </i>is a tale of fraud, betrayal, celebrity (real and imagined), an inexplicable descent into deeply delusional behaviour, fake identities, fake affairs, impersonating banks, judges, doctors, even Chinese ministers, stolen money; millions of pounds worth of imaginary transactions, bailiffs, debt, family rifts, drugs, the faking of terminal cancer and finally arrests and a prison cell (although not for the right person).</p><p>Jim Phillips was the dupe in this mind-blowing tale and the book combines a blow-by-blow account of how the nightmare ramped up with a deeper analysis of what had happened to them both and, more importantly, why it had happened at all.</p>
