This is a political thriller with a twist. Times Literary Supplement It is a book full of anger, recrimination and justice…But this adds to the interest as the words crackle with barely concealed rage. –Total Politics
…as gripping as any Dan Brown page-turner –Choice Magazine
Without a doubt the political book of the summer, alongside Charles Moore’s Thatcher biography… As both a tell-all (it’s peppered with key details about Labour front benchers) and an examination of coalition governments, it makes for a compelling read. Unsurprisingly, Nick Clegg doesn’t come off well. –GQ
