Anyone read it? Any thoughts on who the fifth man was?

read it years ago when it first came out but was banned over here.

Couldn't even remember there was a fifth man now, so afraid i'm as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

At a guess though i'd say it was Tony Blairs dad.

He's still alive isnt he? Oh no, i'm thinking of somebody Booth, thats Mrs Blairs dad. Used to be in the Confessions of films.

I too read it when it first came out, bought a copy whilst in Canada. Didn't see what all the fuss was about.

Just did a quick search on google and found this

Yeh, i read that a while ago. Do another search on www.ask.co.uk and search for "who was the fifth man" and you come up with a very interesting extract from a book which says that the fifth man was Victor Rothschild who was a close personal friend of Peter Wright.

It was the butler with a hammer in the library.................I think!
