The latest novel from the master spy novelist John Lawton follows
Inspector Troy, now Scotland Yard's chief detective, deep into a
scandal reminiscent of the infamous Profumo affair.
England in 1963 is a country set to explode. The old guard, shocked
by the habits of the war baby youth, sets out to fight back. The
battle reaches uncomfortably close to Troy. While he is on medical
leave, the Yard brings charges against an acquaintance of his, a
hedonistic doctor with a penchant for voyeurism and young women,
two of whom just happen to be sleeping with a senior man at the
Foreign Office as well as a KGB agent.
But on the eve of the verdict a curious double case of suicide
drags Troy back into active duty. Beyond bedroom acrobatics, the
secret affairs now stretch to double crosses and deals in the halls
of power, not to mention murder. It's all Troy can do to stay
afloat in a country immersed in drugs, up to its neck in scandal.
