A conspiracy so bold it would make Machiavelli wince. Andrew Marr's debut novel imagines what really might be going on behind the door of 10 Downing Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eWhen a young investigative reporter is found dead on the streets of London few people notice. But when another body - minus its head and hands - is washed up on the banks of the Thames, its grisly condition arouses a little more interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eThere appears to be no connection between the two dead men. But, unsuspected by the electorate, there is a shocking and dangerous secret at the very heart of government. While the United Kingdom approaches a crucial and delicately-balanced referendum on Europe, a group of ruthlessly determined individuals will stop at nothing - including murder - to prevent the truth from getting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eAndrew Marr's first novel is a gleefully twisted spin through the corridors of power. Making full use of his unrivalled inside knowledge of the British political scene, Marr has threaded his wickedly clever thriller with a distinctive strand of pitch-black humour, to offer an irreverent glimpse behind the parliamentary curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marr, Andrew","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48857944031571,"sku":"XG80008101282","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/marr-andrew-head-of-state-xg80008101282-56742507938131.jpg?v=1728120196","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/head-of-state-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
