I love a good political thriller and this one is full of suspense all the way through! Prime Minister Robin Sandford has his own ideas on policy and there are those in his team who disagree.. When a hand is found, Jed Fowkes - Special Advisor to the Treasury - and long time friend of the PM reminds Robbie of past times when they flat-shared with another, and how the discovery of the body part is likely to lead right to his door. With his career in the balance, Robbie needs help so uses a roundabout way to involve MI5 finding he's really in the midst of the world of intrigue, espionage - and murder. This is a rollercoaster of a read! If you are among the few who still believes everything that comes out of a politician's mouth then this will change your way of thinking. A riveting tale and one I just had to keep on reading; each time I thought of setting it aside, there was another question that I just HAD to find out the answer to! This is a writer who knows his stuff and has constructed a gripping story with a believable scenario, populated with beautifully rounded characters. A stunning read, thoroughly enjoyed and one I'm not only happy to recommend but also give five glowing stars. Definitely an author to add to my list.
