A Conspiracy of Serpents

The brutal murder of an Oxford undergraduate in the City of London. The trial of the prime suspect. The theft of a research paper from an Oxford laboratory. A deadly pandemic, and a desperate cover-up by the British establishment to suppress the truth.

A story of love, loss, hope and redemption, from the spires of Oxford to the streets of London, from the Kremlin in Moscow to the port of Shanghai, and beyond.

And the story of the integrity of one jaded lawyer pitted against the ruthless forces of international politics which will stop at nothing to get its way – even murder.

A conspiracy, breath-taking in both its scope and ambition.

A Conspiracy of Serpents.
