The Secret of Silencing a Whistleblower Kathy Pidgeon

No nightmare anticipated this. You are not a criminal, or gang member, or drug dealer, yet there are people trying to destroy your life. They lie, deceive and manipulate. They plant evidence. They turn everyone against you. And, worst of all, they hire an expert skilled in the dark arts of twisting the psychological knife until you break. And why? Why does all this happen to a quiet, meek, middle class woman like you? Because you spoke up at work about fraud and unprofessional behaviour. You didn't know you were a whistleblower. You didn't want to be a whistleblower. You just tried to do a good job. Now they are trying to wreck your reputation, career, friendships, health and even your sanity. They increase the stress month by month. This is not the Soviet Union or North Korea. This is Britain. This is now. This is our cosy world of village greens, coffee shops and BBC news. Inspired by real events, this is the story of a hidden scandal at the heart of Britain: the legal psychological assault of those who speak up about abuse, or fraud, or avoidable deaths.
