An explosive, fast-paced espionage thriller for fans of Frank Gardner and Mick Herron. ' Dark and twisted, A Time to Lie is a tense and timely novel' Adam Hamdy A divisive prime minister. A long-buried body. A plot to bring him down. . . The bigger the secret the more dangerous it is to lie. . . On the morning of the Tory Party conference, the bones of a young woman' s hand are discovered in a London building site. Jed Fowkes, Special Adviser at the Treasury, confronts Prime Minister Robin Sandford with a terrible accusation. He claims the hand belongs to someone they once knew well: a young woman whom Sandford murdered years ago. With his career on the brink of ruin, the Prime Minister' s only hope is to enlist the unofficial help of MI5. A decision which leads him into a new world of espionage, illegal trafficking and murder. And the deeper he goes, the more treacherous the game becomes. Because now it' s not just his life on the line; it' s the future of the state itself. . .
' A Prime Minister with a murky past, a gruesome discovery and dark intrigue make A Time to Lie a topical read. Simon Berthon takes readers on an insightful journey through corridors of power walked by those with terrible secrets. Dark and twisted, A Time to Lie is a tense and timely novel' Adam Hamdy' Utterly gripping from the first chapter to the unexpected ending; full of the backstabbing and deception of political life in which no one - even long-term friends - can truly be trusted. A thriller with more twists and turns than a mountain climb on the Tour de France' Gavin EslerPraise for Simon Berthon' Fast-paced, thrilling and uncomfortably credible' Ross Armstrong, author of The Girls Beneath' Highly enjoyable. Edge of the seat stuff!' Simon Booker, author of Kill Me Twice' An excellent first book by a writer who knows his stuff. I won' t write any spoilers but this is a tense and exciting thriller with a massive twist at the end. Highly recommended' Greville W (Netgalley)' A stunning debut novel . . . It could not be more timely' Gavin Esler
