Maxwell Murray's job is simple: keep his hapless boss Eliot Oakcroft - the MP for Middlebury-Mid - out of trouble and the media spotlight. There's always plenty to keep Max busy. busy. However, when Miranda Cley asks for help freeing her mother from prison, an ordinary day becomes anything but. Miranda's father was murdered. At least, that's what everyone believes. The problem? Miranda has just seen him alive and well. Max and his assistant Diana Burton can't help but waft the scent of a possible career-making miscarriage of justice Eliot's way, but as the mystery of Charlie Cley's disappearance unravels, it becomes clear that investigating further could end not just their careers, but their very lives. A sharp and witty whodunnit from parliamentary insider David Weir, drawing on years of experience in the chaotic and crumbling corridors of power.
