Whilst many of his schoolmates opted for the immorality of a life of crime, Frank ended up going one better. He became a politician. His rise up the greasy pole has seen his career reach Cabinet status, and the myriad of problems that accompany it - a wife, a mistress, and a spin-doctor screaming for him to choose between the two. The result is a woman severely scorned, but one who hadn't reckoned on the twisted loyalty of Frank's old friends . . . Bringing the topics of her early blockbusters A Parliamentary Affair and A Woman's Place bang up to date, Edwina Currie's sixth novel is a skilfully crafted tale of sex, spin and political skulduggery.
