Gritty and compelling political thriller, with the added intrigue of insider knowledge.

A nail-biting and intriguing start with several plot lines already opened up. The author is well known for his financial and political commentary, and as his first novel this has the makings of a great political thriller. The cover is striking and evocative of the political machinations in progress beneath the surface and the deadly consequences. Promises to be an exhilarating and engrossing read and I can't wait to read more.
