"A very early candidate for the crime novel of the year" IRISH TIMES
Live Aid, July 1985. The great and the good of the music scene converge to
save the world. But the TV glitz cannot disguise ugly truths about Thatcher's
Britain.
Jon Davies and Suzi Scialfa have moved on since the inquest into the death of
Colin Roach, but they're about to be drawn back into the struggle - Jon by
his restless curiosity and Suzi by the reappearance of DC Patrick Noble.
Noble's other asset, the salaried spycop Parker, is a pawn in a game he only
dimly comprehends. First, he's ordered to infiltrate the Broadwater Farm
Estate in Tottenham; next will come Wapping, ground zero of a plot to smash
the print unions. But who is Noble working for, and how far can he be trusted?
The Iron Lady is reforging the nation, and London with it. Right to Buy may
secure her votes, but who really stands to benefit? Corruption is endemic and
the gap between rich and poor grows wider by the day. Insurrection seems
imminent - all that's needed is a spark.
