A Very British Coup by Chris Mullin
Acclaimed political satire now back in print with Serpent's Tail - from the celebrated diarist of A View From The Foothills.
As fascinating as it was entertaining when it was first published.. it's disturbing how much still resonates. If Corbyn seeks a cautionary tale, he need look no further. -- Val McDermid * New Statesman *

A delicious fantasy... crisply written and the story belts along * Observer *
A world of power struggle in Downing Street, Fleet Street, Whitehall and Washington * New Statesman *
A spiffing read... calculated to grip blue-rinsed Conservative ladies and make Socialist eyes pop * People *
Chris Mullin's book is the first for some time that I have stayed awake to finish -- Ken Livingstone * Labour Herald *
A curious Molotov cocktail * Financial Times *
Entertaining propaganda * Literary Review *
A very effective political thriller, which hasyou on the edge of your seat from start to finish * Oxford Mail *
Entertaining to anyone interested in contemporary politics * Glasgow Herald *
...a brilliant concept that opened the way for my own novels -- Michael Dobbs
Compulsive reading * City Limits *
