***A TIMES HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR*** 'A joy from start
to finish' - ANDREW TAYLOR 'Thrilling... Deserves to be huge' -
EMMA STONEX This is the confession of Laurence Jago. Clerk.
Gentleman. Spy. July 1794, and London is filled with rumours of
revolution. The war against the French is not going in Britain's
favour, and negotiations with America are on a knife edge. Laurence
Jago, Foreign Office clerk, is ever more reliant on opium - the
Black Drop - to ease his nightmares. A highly sensitive letter,
whose contents could lead to the destruction of the British Army,
has been leaked to the press and Laurence is a suspect. Then he
discovers the body of a fellow clerk - a supposed suicide - and it
seems clear where the blame truly lies. But Laurence is certain
both of his friend's innocence, and that he was murdered. But after
years of hiding his own secrets from his powerful employers, can
Laurence find the true culprit without ending up on the gallows
himself?
