The Asset

Britain. 2017. The United Kingdom stands on the brink of political revolution. An unlikely coalition of amateur politicians has been elected in a landslide. For the first time in a generation a government of young, left-wing, progressive politicians are poised to turn British politics upside down. Alice Michaels is a young correspondent at a failing tabloid newspaper. Looking for a better life beyond embittered colleagues and declining readership, she uncovers a conspiracy from inside the secret world beyond Whitehall where true power lies. Alistair Dalton is the Prime Minister, a hostage to his principles and embattled on all sides. Sir Jack Reapham is the ambitious junior member of the government, driven to moral insanity by his fantastical hatred of just one man. When they clash, their lives – and the United Kingdom – will never be the same again.
