The daughter of the Lawmaker who staged his own death tells the entire story. John Stonehouse, a British Labour MP and Privy Counselor, pretended to die on November 20, 1974, in Miami, and then used a false name to enter Australia in an effort to leave his former life behind and start fresh. His identity was discovered a month later, and he received a warning?the beginning of years of legal action. John's daughter looks at never-before-seen evidence, tells the dramatic true narrative for the first time, refutes accusations, and overturns widespread preconceptions in a story involving agents from the communist Czechoslovak secret service, a three-way love affair, and the Old Bailey. The story was never far from the front pages of the press in the mid-'70s, and yet so much of the truth is still unknown. A close look at the political dynamics of the time; paced like a thriller, it?s time for the world to know the real John Stonehouse.
