Thrilled to share that my new book will be released on October 6, 2025.

Title: Lies, Death and the Sex Shop Alibi: A guide to surviving false accusations and fighting for the truth.

Synopsis:

On January 4th, 2013, Eleanor de Freitas accused Alexander Economou of rape. Just over a year later, she was dead. What followed was a media firestorm—outrage, speculation, and legal battles that stretched across both criminal and civil courts. When Economou spoke out to defend himself, he found himself charged with harassment, a shocking twist in an already volatile case.

Was Eleanor telling the truth? Or was there another story beneath the headlines? And if she had lied—why?

In this deeply personal and unflinching account, Alexander Economou takes readers inside the chaos of this high-profile criminal case. From his arrest to his accuser’s prosecution, from navigating defamation law to intense courtroom battles—including his own harassment trial, inquest hearings, and bankruptcy proceedings—he exposes the labyrinth of the British justice system.

But the legal battle was only part of the struggle. Activists and campaigners seized the case, distorting facts to serve their own agendas. Economou soon realised that those claiming to fight for justice weren’t always interested in the truth. With his reputation under relentless attack, he had to learn how to push back—not just in court, but against a movement determined to control the media narrative.

A gripping exploration of false allegations, police misconduct, and the power of ideological activism, this book is more than one man’s fight for justice. It is a survival guide for anyone caught in the crosshairs of a system where truth is often the first casualty.
