Children of the Master

In his second novel, political commentator Andrew Marr draws on his unrivalled inside knowledge of British politics to expose the foibles, duplicities and absurdities of those we elect to govern us. The Labour Party has unexpectedly won a narrow majority in the 2018 general election, but, weak and divided and with an unpopular leader, a group of eminent figures from the party’s past see an opportunity to re-establish their grip over its future by replacing the prime minister with a figurehead they can manipulate to their own ends. But who will they choose?
