Civil servant Kendra has spent her whole life struggling against the Etonian powers-that-be. So when she realises her boss is up to no good, she turns whistle-blower, calling a journalist who is looking for a way to fight back himself.

Jack Parlabane is a hack who will go to desperate lengths for a good story. Reduced to peddling PR puff pieces, he is delighted when Kendra's information threatens to blow up a national corruption case. But Parlabane soon realises this story might prove dangerous to both of them.

Good but more of a novella than a book. It's a good and well paced story. You meet Buzzkill. But I feel a touch sold short!

Usual high standard from Brookmyre

A truly enjoyable short tale of our favourite journalist. Don’t let the length fool you, it’s as great story. The narration is fantastic, and the characters are as well-rounded as ever.

Not usually a fan of short stories but really enjoyed this instalment. Great storyline and characters as always.

Felt a bit unnecessary. It could have been a prologue on the next book.
