About this listen

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. And journalist Gil Peck watches from the sidelines, a respected commentator on the sport of power politics. 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.

As election day approaches, Gil follows the story into the dark web of interests that link politics, finance and the media. And the deeper he goes, the more he realises how wrong he has been.

Power isn't sport: it's war. And if Gil doesn't stop digging, he might be the next casualty.

This is an absolutely excellent story, totally believable, not at all overdone, and very well narrated. And with an unexpected ending that just appeared in totally unexpected fashion! A great listen.

Really well narrated, story was pacey, with great characters. At times I found it a complex storyline and struggled to totally follow but I also learned lots too.

Intriguing

I liked that Robert Peston is someone that I am aware of and I reckon that I am not just aware of him now I really like him and I congratulate him that he has written such a great book. Furthermore it was a great story that was well constructed and it also floated a couple of interesting ideas about how things work in politics. I salute him for sitting down and presenting this book!

I enjoyed it as much as any book I’ve ever read!
