When are you going to publish the Quindell book? I was asked this numerous times yesterday and having chatted to the pizza hardman Darren Atwater, we think that the answer is October. But what to call it?

My submission would be:
“The Quindell Swindle: the story of the £1bn stock market fraud by the journalist who exposed it”
I think Quindell and swindle probably work together quite well, plus you want to make clear you are a journalist at the outset (avoid the “blogger” label you dislike).
For the blurb I would suggest the opening two paragraphs go as follows:
Para 1: Four / five sentences on The Innovation Group.
Para 2: The SAME four / five sentences with the name / years replaced with the Quindell equivalent. Personally I think one of the most incredible things about this scam is that it all happened before!

With a hat tip to the suggestion of Aimless, I would rework my submission to “Swindell: The story of Quindell, by the journalist who exposed the billion pound fraud”

‘Downfall’?
Snappy, descriptive, appropriate. Like it! Or has that one been taken?
By the way, and not that more congrats are needed, but superbly well done, Tom, vis a vis QPP. You’ve been bang on target. It’s been a war for you, and you’ve pretty much effectively won. Well done, too, on Slater + Gordon, the upcoming Aussie wannabe contender. That one still has legs.
With the benefit of a little personal insight into the business models of these type of enterprises, I would however caution you not to set too much store by YLF, or Your Legal Friend, or Camps Solicitors, or whatever other guise they trade under, as ‘White Knights’ in this affair. It’s a bit like having to prefer jackals over hyenas or tapeworm over fleas. They have just this week had a truly fearsome kicking in another class action, the ‘Sonae’ matter which has set the legal world a-flutter. Worth googling, it’s riveting, with a brilliant (long and intricate but well worth reading) judgment (against them). 16,000 scousers have just been shown to be, shall we charitably say, opportunistic ‘embellishers of the truth’. Amazing! More importantly, firms like Camps have been shown up as the reprehensible Pied Pipers in the whole sorry saga, and there will be consequences.
Doesn’t mean they can’t be an expensive irritant to QPP, but always good to have a long spoon…
All the very best to you.

Right, if you didn’t like that, how about?
‘Fear And Loathing In Fareham Hampshire Englandshire.’
In which a reckless gonzo journalist embarks on a wacky but engaging psychedelic journey of self-discovery from a pizza joint in quirky Clerkenwell in old London Town all the way down the A3 to an office block in Hampshire Englandshire (PO15 5UA) (1 hour 43 minutes with benign traffic conditions) and offends quite a lot of people along the way. Gets completely spaced out on the concept of ‘aggressive’ accrual accounting. Starts swearing uncontrollably. Turns out the bloke he wanted to confront has decided that the climate in Canada is more conducive. Bollocks.
