Spin by Martin Sixsmith
Coruscating and scintillating, SPIN is a novel that cuts behind the headlines and those who make them a stiletto-sharp, hilarious satire that exposes just how the corridors of power are really at work.

From 1980 to 1997 he worked for the BBC as the Corporation's correspondent in Moscow, Washington, Brussels and Warsaw.
