Description of Whispers of Betrayal |
In the world of power-hungry politicians, Thomas Goodfellowe is an unlikely hero, an MP whose obstinate refusal to compromise has cost him a place in the Cabinet and left his private life in ruins. Now, for the first time in many years, Goodfellowe can see happiness within his grasp. He is with the woman he loves and has a chance to return to the top ranks of politics. But he reckons without his old schoolfriend Colonel Peter Amadeus, a disgruntled former Paratrooper who feels betrayed by the Government that has thrown him and countless other soldiers on the scrapheap. All Amadeus wants is an apology, but when his request is dismissed it becomes a matter of honour, and he and a team of former soldiers embark on a campaign of wholesale retribution. London becomes a city under siege, its lifelines cut, and the Government is presented with a stark choice. Either the Prime Minister resigns, or the City will be destroyed. As the capital is gripped by growing panic and the deadline approaches, Goodfellowe must face the ultimate test: torn between ambition, honour and love - with the fate of London in his hands.

Reviews"Goodfellowe is a modern political hero with all the welcome weaknesses we expect. Dobbs does for Westminster skulduggery what Agatha Christie did for the country house murder."
- Sunday Express
"A political thriller writer with a marvellous inside track knowledge of government."
- Daily Express
"With a friend like Michael Dobbs, who on earth needs enemies? Dobbs' books grab because of their authenticity."
- The Times
| About Michael Dobbs |
For two decades, Michael Dobbs has been at the right hand of political controversy. He was at Mrs Thatcher's side as she took her first step into Downing Street as Prime Minister, and was a key aide to John Major when he was voted out. In between times he was bombed in Brighton, banished from Chequers and blamed for failing to secure a Blair-Major television debate. Whispers of Betrayal marks the third outing for his popular new Goodfellowe character, following Goodfellowe MP and The Buddha of Brewer Street.
