Author Description

Nottingham, 1997. Sarah Bone is a Labour politician with a hidden radical past, about to face the election battle of her life. She also has a radical ex-boyfriend Nick Cane, just released from prison for growing and selling cannabis. They're brought together again when Sarah campaigns successfully for the release of Ed Clarke, a wrongfully imprisoned 'murderer', only to be sexually assaulted on the night she celebrates his release with him. Is she responsible for a terrible injustice? Nick's life is strangely bound up with Ed Clarke's: inmates in the same prison and now working illegally for the same mini-cab firm. Will the old chemistry spark as Nick and Sarah work together to expose Ed Clarke's guilt? As the election of a generation heats up, Bone and Cane's convictions are tested to the limit. In Nottingham, 1997, Labour MP Sarah Bone celebrates a successful campaign to secure an appeal for convicted murderer Ed Clark. But she soon discovers that he might be guilty after all. Driven to uncover the truth about Ed, she also has to fight the most important election of a generation, one she is expected to lose. Nick Cane is also fresh out of prison. Working illegally as a cabby, he finds he's now a colleague to Ed Clark. And since he's seeing Polly Bolton, the sister of the man Ed is meant to have murdered, Nick needs to find the truth as much as Sarah does.
