Bestselling author Michael Dobbs was at Mrs Thatcher’s side as she took her first step into Downing Street as Prime Minister and was a key aide to John Major when he was voted out. In between times he was bombed in Brighton, banished from Chequers and blamed for failing to secoure a Blair-Major television debate. He is now one of the country’s leading political commentators.
Thomas Goodfellowe MP has an overdraft and an absent wife, a tormented daughter and a troublesome constituency, a sensational young secretary and a drink-driving conviction, but also an overriding concern for ordinary people – a life almost too full.
Yet from his cramped apartment above a kitchen in London's Chinatown Goodfellowe sets about doing what an MP does best: Asking questions, but listening more carefully than most to the answers.
Questions about abuses. Questions about the new Press Bill. Questions which lead him into confrontation with the Prime Minister, the police – and Freddy Corsa, a desperate and ruthless newspaper proprietor who sets out to destroy Goodfellowe not only politically but financially and sexually, too.
This is a politician in new role. A parliamentary detective, intent on pursuing his investigations no matter what the personal cost and regardless of the rules. For when a man has lost everything, the rules no longer matter.
