Sinopse

Five ámonths áafter áScotland&rsquo,s áIndependence áReferendum, áfreelanceájournalist áWillie áMorton learns by chanceáthat a man called Philip Gallimont, let off a drink-driving charge on Home Office orders, bears a startling resemblance to himself. Gallimontáworks for a pro-Union group, GB13, run by members of MI5 and the old school tie network of the British State.CouldáMortonápass himself off as Gallimont to get inside the group? How far are they willing to go to frustrate democracy? What are their connections ináWhitehalláand is the Prime Minister involved?It&rsquo,s a dangerous game and soon Morton is being pursued through a labyrinth of private backstairs and neglected corridorsáin the Palace of Westminster into the eerie dereliction of the roof space. He wants áto confront áthe áreclusive áleader áof áGB13, áwhisky ámagnateáLord Craile, in his remote mansion on Mull and ask him one questioná&ndash, Why?But some questions are too incendiary, too dangerous... The Union isásacrosanct, greater, it áseems, than democracy itself and Mortonáis aáthreat to it, their top target.Andrew Scott',s pacy political thrillers explore the uncertain and ambiguous terrain between a declining Britain and an emerging Scotland, in fast-moving novels that combine anáinsider',s insight with all-too-believable scenarios, set in beautiful locations in contemporary Scotland, England and Europe.áMoves along enjoyably and at a brisk pace - The HeraldFast-paced, tension-packed page-turner... a thrilling tale which leaves the reader much to think about and doesn',t disappoint - The Courier
