About this title

Synopsis

The cricketer Peter Roebuck died in a fall from a South African hotel window in 2011, after being accused of sexual assault. He had been known as an erudite analyst, but his obsessive feud with Ian Botham and uncompromising approach to controversy revealed a complex, antagonistic personality. For this meticulous investigation, the authors have tracked down not only his colleagues, friends and family but also his alleged victims.
