An ambitious Conservative Junior Minister, Edward Dunsford, seems to be doing all the right things in his bid to become Foreign Secretary. Until, that is, a moment's sentimental weakness precipitates his career into chaos, his party into crisis and his own marriage onto the rocks.
'So skilfully do Hurd and Lamport expose Whitehall's nerve-ends that their dissection reveals more of the system's internal workings than all the outpourings of the political researchers thick on the Westminster beat' - Sunday Times
- 'The mintutae of dealings and romantic liasons are convincingly rendered in a highly enjoyable romp.' GLASGOW HERALD
- Praise for the author:
- 'He has an enviable sureness of touch and style that could presage an alternative career' TLS
- By far the best political thriller writer in Britain is Douglas Hurd. His books are superb, they give the very smell of politics' Denis Healey
