I've crossed paths peripherally with him a couple of times but never to the extent of any social interaction.
I did find a copy of his book that he'd left behind as a freebie to the staff in an office I was working at on relief.
It's called "Three verdicts" and I read it during some down time.
It's not that it's bad...........it's that it is SO bad, but it's also the biggest public ego w@nk ever.
The main character is obviously meant to be him.......and it is utterly f u ck ing toe curling.
