Gavin Esler

A Scandalous Man (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

His near death made all the news channels despite the fact that the Prime Minister had called an Election on that very day. If he had been conscious, Robin Burnett would have been wryly amused. He was a famous-or infamous-figure. One of the great brains behind the government, charismatic and hard-working, his easy charm disguised his ruthless ambition. The Prime Minister regarded him as the hard man, and depended on him because he brought solutions, not problems. His belief in action endeared him to his American counterparts. He was the coming man.
But the political deals he had to do had their price and someone, sometime was going to have to pay it. And the price of his remorseless drive to succeed may well be paid by others, especially his family. With a twenty-four hour hungry media, scandal can be hard to avoid.
Gavin Esler's novel gives a real sense of the adrenalin of power when you feel the top job is within your grasp. A Scandalous Man presents fascinating, wholly credible scenarios on relationships and secret arrangements with the Middle East, as well as being an absorbing political thriller.
