{"product_id":"head-of-state-a-political-entertainment","title":"Head of State\t\t\t\t\tA Political Entertainment","description":"Two 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nThere 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.\n\nAndrew 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.","brand":"Andrew Marr","offers":[{"title":"HarperCollins Publishers \/ 04 Jun 2015 \/ B36","offer_id":53136776069461,"sku":"9780007591947","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780007591947.webp?v=1773138722","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/head-of-state-a-political-entertainment","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
