Deception Most Foul takes the reader through the manner in which Alzheimer’s disease first presented in Annie Attwood, a fit, elderly lady. It describes in easily followed descriptive terms, the slow progression of this illness over several years as it eroded the quality of her life, and the distress caused to her nearest and dearest as the illness became more clearly apparent. To be confronted with a malady of this magnitude is particularly stressful, but all that ensued was far worse, when her family discovered that the woman Annie had entrusted to her care had successfully schemed to rob them of their considerable inheritance. Step by step, we are taken through the costly legal confrontations that ensued during the following eighteen years, including two major high court battles. The surprising twists and turns revealed in this saga as the tale unfolds are all the more amazing with the realisation that this is an account of unimagined cunning and greed that is based entirely on a true story. All names, dates, and private locations are a total fiction although this chronicle of events is factual. The reader may well find these narrative portions will resonate, awakening memories of events affecting an elderly person they presently know, or once knew years ago.
