The second book in the trilogy that inspired the hit Netflix
series House of Cards
After scheming his way to power in House of Cards, newly elected
Prime Minister Francis Urquhart takes on the new King,
The role of the monarchy in modern Britain comes under scrutiny
as Prime Minister Francis Urquhart threatens to expose Royal
secrets when his plans are blocked by the idealistic new King.
Their differences of opinion quickly degenerate into open
hostility. The battlefield ranges from architecture to the
underprivileged; the battle is fought with rigged opinion polls,
manipulated newspaper headlines, sexual scandal and economic
brinkmanship as Urquhart sets out to destroy not only the King's
family and friends but even the King himself.
Continuing the dark tale of greed, corruption, and unquenchable
ambition, To Play the King reveals that no matter the country,
politics, intrigue and passion reign in the corridors of power.
"This blood and thunder tale, lifelike and thoroughly cynical,
certainly carries the ring of authenticity....a great triumph." The
Independent"
