| book description |

This explosive exposÃ© reveals the shocking truth about Mohamed Al-Fayed's controversial 25-year reign at Harrods. To the public, he was the jovial, eccentric owner of one of the world's most iconic department storesâ€”handing out lollipops and gifts to customers. But behind the scenes, Fayed wielded his power with cruelty, humiliation, and abuse that went unchecked for decades. Drawing on extensive firsthand interviews with former employees, executives, police officers, and erstwhile friends, The Monster of Harrods exposes chilling accounts of misconduct, many detailed here for the first time. Through court records, witness testimonies, and previously unpublished accounts, the book uncovers: The personal stories of victims whose lives were shattered. The systemic failures, threats, and NDAs that enabled years of silence. Astonishing details of how abuse was overlooked by those in power. Fayedâ€™s actions caused profound harm, from psychological trauma to breakdowns. Despite multiple allegations, police reports, and victims coming forward, his influence shielded him from accountability. Why were his crimes ignored? And why did senior figures at Harrods and beyond fail to act? This is not just a story about one manâ€™s abuse of power. Itâ€™s about the people and systems that allowed it to continue. The Monster of Harrods brings to light harrowing new evidence and asks urgent questions of those who stood by all the way up to the highest levels of governance. This is the full unflinching investigation into power, corruption, and complicity at the heart of one of Britainâ€™s most famous institutions.
