The history of the book is pretty simple: Michael Barrymore's agent, who was also the lawyer and detective on the murder case Michael was involved in, asked Michael's cat if he'd like to write a book about living with Michael Barrymore. The cat declined so the agent/lawyer/detective/Jim Carrey look alike asked Michael, to which he replied the infamous words, "One more stab, my friend, and the Russians won't know where to look for us." These Russians are in question.
