IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO FIGHT FOR ONE’S PRINCIPLES THAN TO LIVE UP TO THEM
‘You have to understand who you’re dealing with… They did it all in the shadows. They’ve been biding their time. Waiting for the right moment’
The year is 2037. The New Tory Party runs Britain.
When a long-serving Prime Minister decides to quit Number 10, Sean Leigh finds himself being groomed to replace him. Young, handsome and charismatic, with a wealthy and well-connected wife, he dreams of changing the country.
But when a fellow MP is murdered, Sean must fight to unravel a conspiracy which threatens everything he stands for.
An exhilarating portrait of politics in the AI age, The Heart Of The Party captures the growing conflict at society’s core: in a world where machines and data drive the agenda, where do humans − and our idea of democracy − fit in?
Wild shines a light on the fallible world of Westminster, where good intentions collide with ambition, betrayal and the deadly threat of dark power… with unforgettable consequences.
For fans of classic thrillers such as House of Cards and The 39 Steps. The Heart Of The Party is Book One of the Sean Leigh trilogy. Two sequels, A Minister of the Crown and The State of the Union are already in the works.
