This is an exposure of the secrets behind the headlines - the personalities, the stories and scandals of Fleet street, or "Street of Shame", as it was more familiarly named. It describes the innocents and the reprobates, the opportunists and bemused old-timers and the odd idealistic gentleman, who staffed the Sunday papers. The author, a one-time journalist, has written five novels including "The Aggravations of Minnie Ash".
