A corrupt politician. A story that must be told. An author in peril.

When Clarke Nevis agrees to write a book exposing a rotten politician, he has no idea that it will endanger his life. The politician is very senior and isn't averse to removing obstacles from his path - permanently. When the politician finds out what Clarke is up to, he decides Clarke must die.

Starting his investigation is easy enough, but Clarke soon finds out that people have died because of what they know. It is inevitable that more people will die to protect the dirty secrets.

Will Clarke Nevis survive to finish writing his book, or will he become another casualty in a dangerous game?

The Deputy Prime Minister is a fast paced political thriller. If you like your politics dirty and your heroes clean, then you'll love Robert Cubitt's not so farfetched story.
