TOP POLITICAL JOURNALIST, ROBERT PESTON. ________________________ 1997. A
desperate government clings to power; a hungry opposition will do anything to
win. And journalist Gil Peck watches from the sidelines, a respected
commentator on the sport of power politics. He thinks he knows how things
work. He thinks he knows the rules. But when Gil's estranged sister Clare dies
in a hit-and-run, he begins to believe it was no accident. Clare knew some of
the most sensitive secrets in government. One of them might have got her
killed. As election day approaches, Gil follows the story into the dark web of
interests that link politics, finance and the media. And the deeper he goes,
the more he realises how wrong he has been. But power isn't sport: it's war.
And if Gil doesn't stop digging, he might be the next casualty... Robert
