About this audiobook
Power comes at a price in this sharp, smart political thriller – perfect for fans of Charles Cumming and Mick Herron.
Somebody knows where the bodies are buried…
Newly-appointed Minister of State Anne-Marie Gallagher appears to have an unblemished record. Only she knows the truth. In the early 1990s, she was embroiled in the IRA’s violent past, and integral to a mission which went disastrously wrong.
So far, skeletons have remained in their closets. But, unknown to Anne-Marie, DCI Jon Carne has just received an anonymous tip-off. The co-ordinates lead Carne to a body – badly decomposed after twenty-five years underground.
When news of the discovery reaches Westminster, Anne-Marie knows that she is at risk of being exposed. And with Carne closing in, there’s not much time for the new minister to decide how far she’ll go to keep her past where it belongs…
‘A stunning debut novel from a top TV producer, A Secret Worth Killing For takes us from the back streets of Belfast during the Troubles to power and parliament in London. It could not be more timely.’ – Gavin Esler

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Before undertaking any work which includes reference to the conflict in the North of Ireland it is imperative that sufficient research is carried out to ensure there are no inaccuracies. Sadly the writer failed to so so, and making references to a hunger strike which occurred in 1982 (in fact it was 1981) when nine men died (it was actually ten) so completely inaccurate on both counts) ameliorated any credibility the novel was likely to achieve.
