Time passes slowly living back home with her parents, working a zero-hour contract serving Japanese food to holidaymakers at Heathrow’s Terminal 5. As for her budding plans of becoming a writer, those are going nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThat is, until family friend Chris comes to stay. He’s been on the path to uncover a sinister think-tank, founded at Cambridge University in the 1980s, that’s been scheming to push the British government in a more extreme direction. One that’s finally poised to put their plans into action.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut speaking truth to power can be dangerous - and power will stop at nothing to stay on top.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs Britain finds itself under the leadership of a new Prime Minister whose tenure will only last for seven weeks, Chris pursues his story to a conference being held deep in the Cotswolds, where events take a sinister turn and a murder enquiry is soon in progress. But will the solution to the mystery lie in contemporary politics, or in a literary enigma that is almost forty years old?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDarting between decades and genres, THE PROOF OF MY INNOCENCE is a wickedly funny and razor-sharp new novel from one of Britain’s most beloved novelists, showing how the key to understanding the present can often be found in the murkiest corners of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n---\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Full of energy... a madcap caper, a sideways memoir, a tricky jeu d'esprit that is also a quiet defence of fiction in a post-truth age, and enormous fun to read' Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Deeply pleasurable, and a lot of fun.
