Description
Power is a contagion as strong as any disease - and it kills.
Work on a London tube line is halted by the discovery of an ancient plague pit and in it, a very recent corpse. A day later another body is found, also in a plague pit. This victim is linked to the Palace of Westminster, where rumours swirl around the Prime Minister and his rivals.
As the number of deaths climbs, the media stokes fear. Government assurances are disbelieved. Everyone feels threatened. This has to be resolved and fast.
A disgraced civil servant and a policeman must find the answer before Westminster closes for recess. Power, money and love curdle into a deadly brew that could bring down the Mother of Parliaments.
Time is running out. And it’s not clear what – or who – will survive.
Advance Praise
'If it's excitement and mystery you're after, try the bang up to date and very topical 'Plague'.' Time and Leisure magazine.
'Plague is good fun, with some lovely insights into how the historic buildings and some of the people in the Palace of Westminster work.' Mike Naworynsky, former Deputy Serjeant at Arms, Palace of Westminster.
'Absolutely enthralling...Thought provoking and genius - thank you Julie Anderson!' Barbara Pidgeon, author Shakti Manifest.
'Intriguing and multi-layered, this is a splendid new novel which goes beyond the usual ambit of crime and detective fiction. The plot is extremely topical and the stakes could not be higher.' David Armstrong, playwright (long listed Branagh New Drama Award 2020).
'A whodunnit and a love story all infused with a helping of plague and set in, around and beneath the corridors of power. What more could you possibly want?' Steve Sheppard, author A Very Important Teapot.
