The Channel 4 crime drama DECEIT retells the story of the shocking police attempt to stitch up Colin Stagg for the murder of Rachel Nickell, using an undercover police officer using the name "Lizzie James".There was just one problem: Colin Stagg was innocent. The police didn't know this, but they knew that the evidence against him was tenuous at the best. So they used a police woman - "JC" - to honey trap Colin Stagg, using the name "Lizzie James".But who was JC? And how did she go about ensnaring Colin in her web of DECEIT? The TV series provides SOME of the answers to these questions - going as far as they dare. But this book blows the lid off the police campaign of deceprion, the psychologist who misinterpreted the evidence, and the policewoman herself who changed her testimony at the committal hearing.And when the case against Stagg collapsed in court, the police took advantage of their cozy relationship with the tabloids to give the impression that they had the right man, but that the system let them down. And while the police were doing that, the real killer went on to kill another woman and a child...
