Prime Minister Simon Russell’s personal alarm clock is ticking away, while outside, beyond No. 10, prison riots, bombs in Ireland, corporate blackmail in China and civil unrest in Russia jostle for attention. From the smallest details of the PM’s office to the global significance of an international crisis, Douglas Hurd’s fine political novel illustrates the political process with real authenticity.With the narrative momentum of a gripping thriller, The Shape of Ice demonstrates how ominous events can develop from near-invisibility into momentous crises. Set in the near future, the novel eloquently conveys the stress of life at the top of the political ladder the pressure slowly builds to the point where it distorts judgement and relationships.
