Book description
'Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Was Sir Winston
Churchill really a Druid? Did Charlie Chaplin lose a lookalike
competition? Did The Who's drummer Keith Moon drive his Rolls Royce
into a swimming pool? The man with the answers is Albert Jack...' -
Daily Express
From Walt Disney's frozen head to the kidnap of JFK's brain, Albert
Jack gathers together all the strangest, sickest, funniest and most
unforgettable urban legends and recounts them with his usual deadpan
humour. But this is more than just a collection of urban legends, it
is also a detective story. Exploring the real events behind conspiracy
theories, the exaggerations of history and the assumptions of old
wives' tales, Albert Jack shows us that the truth can definitely be
stranger than fiction.
ALBERT JACK has become something of a publishing phenomenon - with
his huge bestsellers
Red Herrings and White Elephants
and
Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep
clocking up hundreds of thousands of sales. He lives in Guildford when
divides his time between fast living and slow horses, neat vodka and
untidy pubs. But he still manages to squeeze in some sleuthing - and now
he has turned his detective skills to solving the unexplained.
