Finding Dad

Peter Bessell was a British Member of Parliament, publicly described as a rogue; an MI6 agent; an MI5 agent; a secret advisor to the US government; a South African BOSS spy; a fraud; a charlatan; a lounge lizard; a murderer; a compulsive liar; a fantasist; a 'grass'; a 'man who operated in the shadowy world of politicians, bankers, fixers, con men and criminals'; and a sex addict. Drawing from extensive research, his son Paul takes us on a compelling quest to reconcile all the upsetting things he had been told, and read, about his father against his own memories of the gentle, generous and kind man he loved.
