A gripping espionage thriller about an establishment plot to take control of 1970s Britain, by a writer who is 'poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carre'
'Ted Wilson, writing out of deepest Suffolk, is a magnificent additionto the English tradition of writing about this dark side of politics and government' Tribune; 'We attempt to second-guess both Catesby and his crafty creator, and are soundly outfoxed at every turn..Wilson is now firmly ensconced in the new firmament of espionage writing' Barry Forshaw, Independent; 'Edward Wilson seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carre' Irish Independent; 'Edward Wilson himself is a most assured writer, adept more than most in this factual/fiction genre combining first-rate characterisation and a depth of detail that entwines itself around real and supposed events.
