    THE GRIPPING DEBUT THRILLER FROM THE UK'S TOP POLITICAL JOURNALIST, ROBERT PESTON.

    1997. A desperate government clings to power; a hungry opposition will do anything to win. And journalist Gil Peck watches from the sidelines, a respected commentator on the sport of power politics. He thinks he knows how things work. He thinks he knows the rules.But when Gil's estranged sister Clare dies in a hit-and-run, he begins to believe it was no accident. Clare knew some of the most sensitive secrets in government. One of them might have got her killed.As election day approaches, Gil follows the story into the dark web of interests that link politics, finance and the media. And the deeper he goes, the more he realises how wrong he has been.Power isn't sport: it's war. And if Gil doesn't stop digging, he might be the next casualty. 

  • Watch the video. It is remarkable. The new Israeli coalition government pursues normalisation of relations with neighbouring Arab states, but won’t pursue a settlement with Palestinians. Reassuring and deeply troubling Link

  • It’s hard to think of bigger security breach than the leaking of the @MattHancock snog film. And yet Downing St is saying that an internal Dept of Health inquiry is all there’ll be and there is implication they’ll never say what happened, even if they find out. Smells very rum
