H/Advisors Maitland Book Club - The Curious Case of Mike Lynch by Katie Prescott

In February 2026, we had the pleasure of hosting Katie Prescott - author of 'The Curious Case of Mike Lynch'. From humble beginnings, Lynch rose to become one of the UK’s richest men, selling his home-grown enterprise software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for over £11bn in 2011. The sale triggered one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history. Lynch was sent to the US in handcuffs, his reputation in tatters – but was acquitted by a US jury, and returned home a free man. Drawing on extensive research and exclusive access to key sources, award-winning Times journalist Katie Prescott explores the billionaire’s dramatic rise and fall and, finally, his untimely and tragic death. It’s a thrilling story of money, power and deception, taking readers into a high-stakes world of corporate subterfuge and rivalries.
