It's 1984. Tommy Wildeblood, hero of Beneath the Streets, has put
his days as a Piccadilly rent boy and scandal-hunting sleuth behind
him, to study at the radical Polytechnic of North London. During a
pitched battle against National Front infiltrators at the Poly, he
meets handsome young Irishman Liam and embarks on the sort of
romantic relationship he never thought he would have. But is it too
good to be true? Liam's abrupt disappearance prompts Tommy to
question how much he knows about his new lover. Dusting off his old
sleuthing skills, Tommy's hunt for Liam takes him into the dark and
violent netherworld of radical politics. As his search moves to an
explosive climax, he finds himself in danger of carrying the can
for one of the most shocking events of the decade. With the twin
spectres of Aids and nuclear armageddon never far away, The Enemy
Within is a gritty thriller built around a story of love in
terrifying times. It captures the unique spirit of a dark and
brooding age, with a supporting cast including Derek Jarman,
corrupt Trotskyist leader Gerry Healy, a young Jeremy Corbyn and
even Maggie Thatcher herself.
