Cast in a feature film at the age of eighteen, Jenny Evans was on the cusp of something extraordinary; a route out of her hometown, a future of promise. But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted by a high-profile figure, referred to in the book as 'The Famous Man'. When Jenny reported his crime to the police, details of her allegations appeared in a tabloid newspaper four days later. She became determined to find out how this could possibly have happened. In the aftermath of devastation, Jenny picked up the pieces and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Turning her hand to journalism, she investigated, and helped expose, the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now know as the 'phone-hacking scandal'. Now training as a lawyer, she's working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims.
