Description

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 'A thoughtful page-turner' THE TIMES 'Vast, well-plotted and gripping throughout' SPECTATOR 'Richly entertaining and highly rewarding' EVENING STANDARD Seven Londoners' lives will change forever. In glamourous Notting Hill, a dinner party is being planned for some of the city's most illustrious inhabitants. Guests including hedge manager John Veals, pickle billionaire Faroq al-Rashid and lovelorn barrister, Gabriel Northwood will finally come together as across the city, a plot unfolds that would decimate them all. A number one Sunday Times bestseller, this dazzling state of the nation novel wickedly dissects the wheels of power and conjures seven unforgettable characters in a thrilling story of greed and revelation.

Reviews

"This vast novel, well-plotted and gripping throughout, is the first that Sebastian Faulks has set in our time... the ambition and scope of the book are to be applauded. The conclusion is suitably nail-biting and, pleasingly, love triumphs. Sebastian Faulks has probably got another best-seller on his hands."
--Spectator

"A portrayal of modern London that is both richly entertaining and highly rewarding. Faulks has come as close as anyone to completing the jigsaw that is this crazy, fascinating city of ours."
--Evening Standard
