Synopsis

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.

Review

'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
