Live Aid, July 1985. The great and the good of the music scene
converge to save the world. But the TV glitz cannot disguise ugly
truths about Thatcher's Britain. Jon Davies and Suzi Scialfa have
moved on since the inquest into the death of Colin Roach, but
they're about to be drawn back into the struggle - Jon by his
restless curiosity and Suzi by the reappearance of DC Patrick
Noble. Noble's other asset, the salaried spycop Parker, is a pawn
in a game he only dimly comprehends. First, he's ordered to
infiltrate the Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham; next will come
Wapping, ground zero of a plot to smash the print unions. But who
is Noble working for, and how far can he be trusted? The Iron Lady
is reforging the nation, and London with it. Right to Buy may
secure her votes, but who really stands to benefit? Corruption is
endemic and the gap between rich and poor grows wider by the day.
Insurrection seems imminent - all that's needed is a spark. REVIEWS
