Time of The Spider

I was inspired to persevere with this book by the following reason given by a leading publisher for rejecting it:
'We cannot regard a story containing political corruption plausible now that Mr Blair and Mr Brown are in charge'
An interesting comment in an era when members of parliament jailed for corruption - and are fiddling their expenses with impunity - none trusted - all treated with contempt.
Industrial espionage, corrupt politicians - this fast moving thriller has a unique plot line - interest and excitement on every page - serving to make this a gripping story of our times.
'Spine chilling - punchy and fast moving - based on real places and events - corrupt leaders and greedy entrepreneurs and it's all becoming too real.'
