Secret State

A democratically elected government faces pressure after a series of disasters, as political leaders investigate possible wrongdoing while navigating the competing influence of big business, banks, intelligence agencies and the media. This compact political thriller examines power, public accountability and the difficult choices made at the highest levels of government.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like compact British political thrillers with conspiracy, power struggles and timely ideas; Not for you if you prefer subtle plotting, realism or fully developed long-form stories.
