Jonathan Coe, 2024
Phyl finds post-university life unfulfilling, working a zero-hour contract while her writing aspirations stall. Her perspective shifts when family friend Chris arrives, investigating a clandestine think-tank founded at Cambridge in the 1980s. This group aims to steer British government policy in an extreme direction and is now ready to enact its plans.
Speaking out against powerful forces carries significant risk. As Britain navigates a brief premiership under a new Prime Minister, Chris follows his investigation to a Cotswolds conference. There, events take a dark turn, leading to a murder inquiry. The resolution may hinge on current political intrigue or a nearly forty-year-old literary puzzle.
