Continuingthe series that offers surprising glimpses into individual lives. Who's Willy? Set in Prague, this is a story of bugged bedrooms, secret assignations, smuggled bodies in car boots, and sexual blackmail reaching into the highest echelons of the British Embassy. When the Iron Curtain came down, Michael Weigall decided to travel to Prague to see if he could track down the dossier kept on him by the secret police. As Reuters correspondent to Czechoslovakia in the late 1950s, he was subjected to continual police harrassment and was eventually forced to leave. Over 30 years later, he begins to piece together the story, meeting again the woman he loved who had been subjected to secret police interrogations because of her contact with a westerner. He discovers that virtually everyone he knew informed on him, and that the secret policemen's real weapon was their ability to pressure his girlfriends.
