Britain: a few years from now...
A new populist political party has won the recent general election.
Duncan Jones, freelance political journalist and blogger, loses his weekly column at a national newspaper and turns to investigative reporting. The chance remark of a friend leads him to suspect that the Russians are directing the new British government’s policies and decisions. As he visits Moscow and Ukraine to discover more, scandal follows intrigue, dark forces attempt to silence him by whatever means possible and he turns to an unlikely ally for help.
A Friend in Deed is a fast-paced political thriller set in an all-too-believable near future. It is a timely reminder of how the power of the internet can be harnessed to undermine the political and personal freedoms we take for granted. It is also the story of how one man confronts the traumas in his past and works out how to resolve them.

'A suspense-filled thriller, packed full of twists and turns. Not only is it a gripping story, it is also very relevant in a world of populist politics and political interference. Highly recommended.' Wishing Shelf Review
'Readers will find themselves hooked within the first few pages. And with the added element of danger that Harper brings to the narrative, the novel is completely engrossing. Every chapter descends further down the rabbit hole of investigative journalism, leaving Duncan torn between what is right and staying safe.' Entrada Review
'Every chapter is a new surprise, a new complication on the path for truth that Duncan must manoeuvre. Just when you think you know what is going to happen, that nothing else could shock you, Harper proves you wrong, throwing another twist, another obstacle to overcome.' Entrada Review

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
