'Excellent, meticulously researched biography' – The Guardian'Totally gripping . . . A real-life story that reads like a novel' – Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of EmpirelandA maverick outsider. An improbable life. An even more improbable death.Discover the real story of Mike Lynch, Britain’s enigmatic billionaire.
On the morning of 19th August 2024, the Bayesian yacht tragically sank off the coast of Sicily, taking with it the lives of Mike Lynch, his daughter and five others. Hours earlier, Lynch’s associate and co-defendant in one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history, Stephen Chamberlain, was hit by a car in Cambridge and killed.
The odds of these two deaths occurring together were estimated at four in one billion.
Drawing on extensive research and exclusive access to key sources, award-winning Times journalist Katie Prescott forensically explores the life and death of this elusive maverick. Prescott guides us from Lynch’s humble beginnings, through his meteoric rise to CEO of Autonomy, and beyond to a vicious legal battle lasting more than a decade following the 2011 sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for more than £11bn. A truly brilliant feat of investigative reporting, this is a tale where nothing is quite as it appears.
