The Fallen: The latest book from the Sunday Times bestselling author, the must-read new crime-thriller of the year

ARE YOU READY TO SAVE A LIFE? WHY HER? Becca Palmer has just lost her job as assistant to Simon Jones MP - the highly-regarded Policing Minister, tipped as a future Prime Minister. But Becca claims that Simon was more than her boss, that she is in love with him. WHY HERE? When a heartbroken Becca leaves the Home Office, she heads to Westminster Bridge, intending to take her own life. Which is where hostage negotiator Alex Lewis meets her for the first time. It is his job to try to talk her back from the edge. WHY NOW? In the negotiation that follows, Becca suggests that she may know something about the Policing Minister that she shouldn't. Something that could prompt a serious fall from grace were it to come out. But can Alex save Becca - and get to the bottom of an alleged conspiracy that goes deep inside the highest levels of government - before it's too late? *** Praise for The Fallen: 'Fascinating and unputdownable' - Jeffrey Archer 'The plot is intricate, frighteningly plausible and superbly paced; I raced through it in two sittings. Recommended.' - M W Craven 'An incredible blend of gripping characters, fabulous plot and chillingly authentic political corruption' - Graham Bartlett
