description: The queen of television's prime time, she was trusted and loved by millions, while at thirty-seven she herself had finally found love. Then one bullet made her Britain's most famous murder victim.It was a crime that took the breath cruel but unfathomable. Serb terrorist, criminal hit man, jilted lover or plain madman - the evidence pointed to all, and to none. And it raised disturbing questions. Was Dando the person she seemed? Had she in some way invited death? Is any celebrity safe?In a study of fame and crime, Brian Cathcart charts Dando's rise from gawky schoolgirl to household name and seeks the sources of her huge popularity. Then he dissects the murder, the intensive investigations it prompted and the evidence that led, two years on, to a sensational Old Bailey trial. As he demonstrates, there has never been a case like it.
