In March we publish The Inalienable Right, the third in Adam Macqueen’s critically acclaimed series of thrillers applying a counterfactual twist to some of the big events of late 20th century political history.
This one recalls the high-level cover-up of one of Britain’s worst child abuse scandals.
It begins in 1987. Rent boy-turned-detective Tommy Wildeblood is teaching at an inner London comprehensive school. When Margaret Thatcher unveils a ruthless new anti-gay law, Tommy realises he has information about one of her key lieutenants that could stop Section 28 in its tracks.
Forming an uneasy alliance with a sharp-elbowed tabloid journalist, and delving deep into his past on the ‘Dilly’, Tommy puts everything on the line – both for himself and his old friends – in a desperate bid to expose the truth.
Spelling-binding and chilling, The Inalienable Right is out on 13 March. To order your copy, click the button below.
