Transgression: A soap star with a secret. A Member of Parliament with a darker one

by Frank Parker

Roger felt too old for this talk of conspiracies and subterfuge. It had all seemed so simple forty years help a friend and a young woman hide the consequences of a single foolish action that both regretted. How had it turned into a witch hunt? Forty years ago four people conspired to conceal a teenage pregnancy. Now one of them is dead and a book about her threatens to expose a Member of Parliament's guilty secret. For how long will Roger be able to prevent Sally getting at the truth of her parentage? Can he prevent the break-up of his own long term gay relationship? We've come a long way from the prudery still prevalent in post WWII Britain to the acceptance of gay marriage. Did the new found sexual freedoms of the 1970s send the wrong signals to men who regard young women as 'fair game' for predatory behaviour and make recently exposed scandals involving celebrities inevitable?
