Written by Esler, the other, non-Paxman presenter of the heavyweight political show Newsnight on the BBC, this is a reasonable attempt at a novel with a heart in politics. The man in question is a Thatcherite who falls from grace due to a sex scandal, with other stories running along side of his now-grown-up son and living in a post 9/11 London

I am angry ... at the incompetence and arrogance of those who seek power - and I was one of them - by wanting to make a difference and then end up being hooked on the crack cocaine of ambition and self interest.
...In Britain there are plenty of scandals but ... the supposed scandals always involve trivial and personal matters. The real scandals never make it to the newspapers. The supposed 'investigative reporters' are interested only in the bedroom, and only rarely venture into the boardroom or the Cabinet room. Pity.
...Parenthood, however we try to manage it, is simply a kind of lottery. You never know what might be ahead of you. Ever. One day you wake up and find out your only son has been murdered by a suicide bomber. One day you wake up and find that your only son is a suicide bomber.
