A Fall to the Top

Colin MacKinnon MP is leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition and is nearing the end of a general election campaign that hangs in the balance when he receives an unexpected telephone call. The unknown caller knows of a dreadful incident from his past. What’s on offer by the caller sets MacKinnon’s career alight – his rise on the stage of politics is meteoric, at home and abroad. He lets nothing get in his way as he sets out to restore the United Kingdom’s standing in the world. He enlists the aid of two former SAS colleagues to help: Alan Croudace, his conscience, and Jack Somerton, his do-anything lieutenant.

Where is it all going to end? And who is really pulling the strings? As you read this book, put yourself in MacKinnon’s shoes and ask yourself, ‘What would I do in the circumstances given the opportunity?’
