Dan also interviewed scores of people, many of them unobtainable while Savile was alive. Jimmy Savile was cynical, calculating and predatory.

He revelled in his status as a Pied Piper of youth and used his power to abuse the vulnerable and underage, all the while covering his tracks by moving into the innermost circles of the establishment. IN PLAIN SIGHT is a devastating and definitive account of a national figure turned national disgrace.
