London 1929. Very much not a land fit for heroes. Frenchie knows his occasional work for MI5 serves only the ruling classes. But he needs to feed his children. Scruples died in the trenches • When Ramsay MacDonald, Britain's first Labour Prime Minister, is blackmailed by a former lover, Frenchie must go to Paris to buy her silence • It is clear there are many people who would see MacDonald fall - the Conservatives, their friends in the press, even some of his own colleagues. But his own secret service? When Frenchie hears the other side of the story, everything changes • The Prime Minister's Affair is another brilliant historical thriller from the author of Witchfinder, based on a real blackmail plot, hidden in the shadows

Was Harold Wilson a bigger figure than Denis Healey? Was John Major more ‘prime ministerial’ than Michael Heseltine? Would David Miliband have become prime minister if it were not for his brother Ed?

Combining astute insights into the demands of leadership with compelling historical analysis, this fascinating exploration of failure and success sheds new light on some of the most compelling characters in British public life

Yet there is a price to pay - they must give Miss Brodie their undivided loyalty

Экзотический самозванец, появившийся, казалось бы, из ниоткуда, мгновенно покорил общество. Но когда он заключает социально выгодный брак, Паллисер должен решить, поддержать ли Лопеса на дополнительных выборах или выставить его авантюристом, охотящегося за состоянием жены • Роман Энтони Троллопа "Премьер-министр" - о социальной, сексуальной и внутренней политике - поднимает один из самых насущных вопросов в правительстве: может ли высокоморальный джентльмен стать эффективным лидером • Книга на английском языке • Plantaganet Palliser, Prime Minister of England - a man of power and prestige, with all the breeding and inherited wealth that goes with it - is appalled at the inexorable rise of Ferdinand Lopez
