In the age of AIDS and Section 28:
a secret that could change political history

£9.99

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.
