The Palace of Enchantments by Douglas Hurd
An ambitious Conservative Junior Minister, Edward Dunsford, seems to be doing all the right things in his bid to become Foreign Secretary. Until, that is, a moment's sentimental weakness precipitates his career into chaos, his party into crisis and his own marriage onto the rocks. 'So skilfully do Hurd and Lamport expose Whitehall's nerve-ends that their dissection reveals more of the system's internal workings than all the outpourings of the political researchers thick on the Westminster beat' - Sunday Times
'He has an enviable sureness of touch and style that could presage an alternative career' - Times Literary Supplement By far the best political thriller writer in Britain is Douglas HurdHis books are superb, they give the very smell of politics' - Denis Healey
Lord Hurd of Westwell was a distinguished Foreign Secretary in both the Margaret Thatcher and John Major administrations. He is also the author of several well-received political novels.
