{"product_id":"9780007591930","title":"Head of State","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo corpses. A country on the edge of a political precipice. A conspiracy so bold it would make Machiavelli wince. Andrew Marr’s debut novel imagines what really might be going on behind the door of 10 Downing Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a young investigative reporter is found dead on the streets of London few people notice. But when another body – minus its head and hands – is washed up on the banks of the Thames, its grisly condition arouses a little more interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere appears to be no connection between the two dead men. But, unsuspected by the electorate, there is a shocking and dangerous secret at the very heart of government. While the United Kingdom approaches a crucial and delicately-balanced referendum on Europe, a group of ruthlessly determined individuals will stop at nothing – including murder – to prevent the truth from getting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Marr’s first novel is a gleefully twisted spin through the corridors of power. Making full use of his unrivalled inside knowledge of the British political scene, Marr has threaded his wickedly clever thriller with a distinctive strand of pitch-black humour, to offer an irreverent glimpse behind the parliamentary curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Marr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284735803541,"sku":"9780007591930","price":8.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007591930.jpg?v=1776992294","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007591930","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
