A rising political movement. Foreign money. A plot aimed at the heart of British democracy. And a gentleman thief who discovers it entirely by accident.
Sebastian March was never popular at school.
Decades later, he has reinvented himself as the charismatic leader of Britain’s fastest growing political movement, turning public frustration, distrust and anger into an increasingly credible challenge to the political establishment.
A.J. Raffles has little interest in politics.
He is far more interested in an object inside March’s Canary Wharf penthouse.
But during a perfectly ordinary burglary, Raffles discovers something considerably more valuable than the item he came to steal. Hidden among March’s private papers is evidence of foreign money, covert influence and a sophisticated operation reaching deep into British politics, business and the media.
March believes he is using his powerful overseas supporters.
They have very different plans for him.
With Harry ‘Bunny’ Manders and former military intelligence officer Julian Mercer at his side, Raffles follows the conspiracy across London, from Canary Wharf and Tate Modern to Ronnie Scott’s, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey.
At the centre of it lies the London Register, a fragmented record of political assets, financial networks and influence operations designed not simply to win an election, but to undermine confidence in the institutions of the country itself.
To stop it, Raffles must do what he does best.
Steal.
Documents. Secrets. Evidence. Leverage.
Piece by piece, he intends to rob the conspiracy of everything it needs to succeed.
But the closer they come to Westminster, the more disturbing the truth becomes.
The people manipulating Britain do not particularly care who wins.
They only need the country to lose.
Raffles: The Westminster Game is the third novel in the contemporary Raffles series, combining elegant crime, political intrigue, espionage and the continuing adventures of E.W. Hornung’s celebrated gentleman thief and Harry ‘Bunny’ Manders.
