Intelligent, darkly humorous and brilliantly written STANLEY TUCCI
This is Elizabeth Day's writing at its finest DOLLY ALDERTON
A tantalising portrait of privilege and power THE TIMES
In this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.
Martin and Ben were friends for decades – best friends, Martin would have said – before the terrible events at Ben’s 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can’t resist the chance to get his revenge. Ben might be touted as the next Prime Minister, but it’s Martin who knows where the bodies are buried…
With everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning. It's time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything – family, power and loyalty – is on the line.
Speaks truth to power in such an entertaining, gripping way MARIAN KEYES
This timely story about the abuse of power is one of those books you just want to inhale in one go GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Gorgeously written, utterly compelling, and full of characters you will love and hate – and also love to hate SARA COLLINS
The thinking person’s thriller. Part Highsmith, part Waugh… A superbly gripping plot LUCY FOLEY
