Mike Duffy made his name as a political reporter, and in the process became one of Prince Edward Island s most famous exports. He cast himself as the ultimate insider, Parliament Hill s man in the know. It made him a household name and one of the Canada s best-paid journalists. But Duffy wanted to get even closer and lobbied his way into the Canadian Senate, with dire results. Veteran journalist Dan Leger tells the story of Duffy s rise to the top in Canadian media, his entanglement with the Harper Conservatives, and the scandal that made him one of the most controversial figures in contemporary politics. Includes a foreword by CBC s Peter Mansbridge and an eight-page colour photo insert."
