Michael Levy was at the centre of one of the most high profile political scandals in recent British history. Caught up in an 18-month- long police investigation into the alleged 'cash for honours' affair which rocked Tony Blair's government, Levy weathered a media storm and numerous attempts to destroy his name and reputation. Now Levy, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, tells his side of the story for the first time. His memoir, A Question of Honour will be published on Monday 12th May 2008 by Simon & Schuster.
Michael Levy has had a remarkable life. Born in the East End of London, he qualified as a chartered accountant and later became a hugely successful pop music mogul, looking after such acts as Alvin Stardust, Bad Manners and Chris Rea. Following his beloved mother's death, he decided to sell his record company to Warner Brothers and use his time to pursue charity matters, raising enormous amounts of money for charities and educational foundations. In 1994, Levy met Tony Blair, then Shadow Home Affairs Spokesman. They became good friends and Levy endeavoured to help Labour back into power. When Blair became Prime Minister in 1997, Levy was behind the scenes for many of the dramas and crises of the first term.
In A Question of Honour , Lord Levy tells the whole inside story of the 'cash for peerages' scandal, including his own arrest and questioning and the role of fellow 'witnesses' and 'suspects' from Blair to Jonathan Powell, Ruth Turner and Sir Christopher Evans. Highly revealing about the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, the repercussions of the events of those turbulent months still impact on Brown's government today. It is an explosive story from one of our era's most fascinating individuals.
