Critics Review
Brilliant. Politically insightful, scary, satirical, beautifully paced and has a great cast of characters led by its narrator, Gil Peck * THE TIMES *
There’s a winning energy as the action zips around between the different elite milieux, and Gil - plainly the young(ish) Peston - is a fascinating mix of self-criticism and self-congratulation * SUNDAY TIMES *
An engaging tale of government secrets…this debut novel is a hell of a read * The Observer *
This enjoyable, intelligent thriller will be catnip for news junkies * GUARDIAN *
[A] cracking debut. This is House of Cards country, with double-dealing seen as a way of life … His dark view of the Westminster jungle is hugely refreshing * DAILY MAIL *
