Product Description
Review
‘Goodfellowe is a modern political hero with all the welcome weaknesses we expect… The fun (and there’s plenty of it) comes from watching honest Tom struggling with his own frailties and battling against the massed ranks of base politicians and a debased media. Michael Dobbs does for Westminster skulduggery what Agatha Christie did for the country house murder. He knows what we like and he knows how to spin a rattling good yarn.’
Sunday Express
‘Splendid, as good as anything Dobbs has done.’
Sunday Telegraph
‘Eventful and entertaining… a truly exciting Mounties-to-the-rescue climax.’
Daily Telegraph

Why is it that so many current protagonists are middle aged, paunchy, and have domestic problems? Goodfellowe MP (both the character and the book) is less self-pitying, and therefore more sympathetic, than most. If you choose to take this as an entertainment, then the tribulations of Thomas Goodfellowe when the wicked press-baron drives him between the rock of family loyalties and the hard place of his conscience are intriguing and enjoyable. But if this is a documentary it goes to prove Winston Churchill's adage that you should not watch either laws or sausages being made. And if it IS a documentary, you will never want to vote or buy a newspaper again. But of course it isn't documentary, it is fiction, so that's OK. Turn the pages, and enjoy it.

If you liked House of Cards etc, this is one for you. A hopeless hero, and full of political shenanigans, it brings the world of Westminster to life.
Just fiction? Who knows!
