It's this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Jac...=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247556501&sr=1-4
I have no idea if it's any good but from what they said on the news it was finished in a hurry - they gave the author only 2 days to write 10,000 new words. As it's going to be the first new book to market and with a fairly large marketing campagin to sell the initial print run of 110,000 books, I really hope it's more positive than negative. Mike needs a break after all the tabloid crap that's been spread over the last week or two.

Michael Jackson was without doubt the greatest performer ever to have lived. In his own lifetime he became a legend, transcending the boundaries that separated white and black audiences, creating sounds that had never before been heard, and writing music that will remain in the hearts of listeners for generations and generations to come. Never before or since has a recording artist achieved so much - from record-setting albums to astonishing acts of charity - and his impact on the domain of not only popular music but world culture itself will be felt down the ages. As a man and a performed Michael Jackson was totally unique. Influenced by the ghosts of an extraordinary childhood and beset by unflagging public scrutiny, the media frenzy which surrounded his untimely death was already a constant presence in a life that seemed to hold so little privacy but offer so many intriguing questions. Yet whatever the doubts and blames generated by his death, his legacy to the world will live on untarnished: as a man who wrote songs that the whole world could sing to. "
