MAD AS HELL - the non-fiction story of a white-collar professional man on police bail for three years - possibly the longest period in recent UK history. Arrested on information never shared, subject to an inept police investigation that violated its own Codes of Practice, it is a story of a type of madness in modern-day Britain.
