Heinous

How leading Fleet Street journalist Nelson Leaver tried to expose the 'cash for honours' fraudster Maundy Gregory as a callous killer, but the British Establishment closed ranks and protected him.

Maundy Gregory was welcomed into the British Establishment and inner circles of the political ruling parties of the 1920s and early 1930s, acting as an honours broker for the powers-that-be. That is very well-known and documented. But far less well-known is the fact that Gregory almost definitely committed a far more appalling act, the ultimate crime of murder. And that heinous homicide involved the fatal and spiteful betrayal of his closest friend to save his own financial skin.
