This is a true story about real people set in the 1960-70's, Alan Stuart Hutcheson, a millionaire before forty had everything; a successful business, an exciting social life; a top model wife amongst a litter of lovers and he lost it all in one calamitous moment.
After Military and Merchant Navy service, he became a champion, well-known top racing driver. Feeling a debt to society, he became a probation officer and learned a lot about police corruption, violence, and falsified evidence.
After Military and Merchant Navy service, he became a champion, well-known top racing driver. Feeling a debt to society, he became a probation officer and learned a lot about police corruption, violence, and falsified evidence.
One evening he was driving through West End London when an accident occurred at the mouth of Hyde Park underpass. One of the girls involved died a week later as a result of shocking medical negligence. Alan was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and given a two year prison sentence. During his first night he attempted suicide but with intensive medical care he survived.
Constantly victimized by the authorities and kept on hard drugs, his time served was mentally and physically tortuous and he not only lost his wife but his thriving business too. Sometime after his release he was accused of murdering his ex-Managing Director and faced a prison sentence; by this time the police were hot on his tail and further falsified evidence was made against him, placing him in another prison sentence.
Through higher level police contacts, he managed to get and early appeal and due to a piece of excellent fortune, he once again became a free man. However, after this Alan felt it safer to live in Spain.
This book is imbued with humour and drama and includes people such as Oliver Reed, Peter Sellers, Stirling Moss, Barry Sheene, Prince of Hanover, Jilly Johnson, Mai Britt and many otherfamous and infamous people making this a compelling memoir well worth reading.
