Face of a Bigamist: A True Story of Deception, Betrayal and Control

If you want to keep a secret, don't put it on FACEBOOK!



What would YOU do if you found out that the man you married had a secret life that culminated in the ultimate betrayal?



Yve Gibney tells the real-life story from their 'love at first sight' chance encounter while working as ex-pats in Nigeria to the gradual realisation that her husband of 19 years, Maurice Gibney, was actually of deceit, manipulation, and coercive control and that their marriage had been a lie from the moment they had met.



Rich in investigative detail, she describes how, after viewing the profile picture of a stranger on Facebook, she unearthed a trail of hidden clues to discover a chain of evidence and shocking revelations that led to the discovery of her husband's duplicitous lifestyle and bigamous marriage in Oman.



She also outlines her judicial journeys through the family divorce court and eventually the criminal courts for the bigamy verdict. The courtroom dramas are a real roller-coaster ride as she reveals the cruelties and biases implicit in how unjustly and insensitively the justice system treats victims of these types of psychological and physical crimes, to the point where at times, it felt like she was the perpetrator and the Bigamist, the victim.



While it may be true that hell has no fury like a woman scorned, Yve Gibney's detective work and determination led to Maurice's downfall and his disgrace and her redemption. Don't get mad; get even.



Yve's intriguing story received worldwide media coverage. She made a guest appearance on the Lorraine Kelly Show and was interviewed by Anna Foster on BBC Radio 5 and on ITV National News, Yve recently appeared with Eva and Nick Speakman on ITV's This Morning Show in a feature entitled Dangerous Love, where they described her story 'as a case of betrayal that shocked us both to the core'.
