The gripping debut thriller from the UK’s top political journalist, Robert Peston.
1997. A desperate government clings to power; a hungry opposition will do anything to win. Journalist and respected pundit Gil Peck watches from the sidelines. He thinks he knows how things work. He thinks he knows the rules.
But when Gil's estranged sister Clare dies in a hit-and-run, he begins to believe it was no accident. Clare knew some of the most sensitive secrets in government. One of them might have got her killed…
Power isn't sport: it's war. And if Gil doesn't stop digging, he might be the next casualty.
