Christine Hart spent her life going where other people couldn't.A Fleet Street investigator trained in surveillance and undercover work, she moved through the hidden worlds of criminals, celebrities and the Royal Family armed with little more than instinct, courage and a handbag.Then the newspapers discarded her.Years later, as Prince Harry prepared his legal battle against the Daily Mail, Christine received a call that pulled her back into a world she thought she had left behind forever.She possessed something others desperately wanted: first-hand knowledge of how the press investigated royalty and celebrities, together with records that connected journalists, private investigators and one of Britain's most powerful newspaper groups.But as the stakes rose, so did the value of her past.Documents disappeared.Stories changed.The woman who had lived the evidence slowly found herself being written out of it.Then James entered her life.Through candlelit dinners, long conversations about Princess Diana and the promise of finally telling her story, Christine found herself trusting again.In a world where testimony, loyalty, publishing rights and enormous sums of money collide, she discovers that love can be confused with ambition, memory can become currency, and the greatest battle is not over what happened……but over who gets to tell the story.Prince Harry, the Mail and the Grifters is a gripping memoir of Fleet Street, Royal investigations, betrayal, class, missing evidence, motherhood and survival.Above all, it asks one haunting question:Who owns the truth when the person who lived it is the easiest person to erase?
