Inside Barbara Walters

by Richard Grayson

How did a mischievous monkey rescue Barbara Walters from obscurity? Why did Whitewater prosecutor Ken Starr have lunch with a man the FBI thought was planning to kill him? What proposition did Bishop Fulton J. Sheen make to a teenage boy he met in a Manhattan supermarket? Who unexpectedly came to Donald Trump's assistance when the billionaire was in financial trouble? Why did Clarence Thomas's accuser Anita Hill give up law for the violent sport of roller derby? Which prominent surgeon got revenge on his worst enemy - by seducing her son and marrying her widowed mother? The answer to these and even more fantastic questions can be found in the tantalizing tales collected in INSIDE BARBARA WALTERS by acclaimed short story writer Richard Grayson, author of LINCOLN'S DOCTOR'S DOG and THE SILICON VALLEY DIET.

Note to potential This book is literary fiction. If you're looking for a book that's actually about Barbara Walters, it's not what that.

About the author

aka Richard Grindal

Scotland and France have always had a close affinity, so it was only natural that Richard Grayson, a Scot by birth, should have taken a special interest when reading history at Cambridge in that most colourful period of French history, La Belle Epoque. All his Inspector Gautier novels are set in that period. He now lives in London.
