In 1993 Sarah Smith was a happy and successful student, chatting the evenings away with barman Robert Freegard, when peace was shattered by an IRA bomb. In the aftermath of this terrorist attack Freegard revealed his ‘true’ identity to Sarah—he was a MI5 spy investigating IRA cells in the area. Because of their time spent together and her knowledge of his true identity, Freegard convinced Sarah that she needed to go into hiding or risk being killed. Sarah became a fugitive and lived on the run—in slums, in cars, sleeping rough in parks, half starved—for ten years. Freegard became the only person she trusted; becoming her life line, her saviour and her keeper. So when, ten years later, police arrived at the house Sarah was cleaning, she could not believe what they were telling her: Freegard was not an MI5 agent, but a conman and she was one of many victims of this modern-day criminal genius and master manipulator.
