Telegram from the Palace

by Geoffrey Toye

In a relentlessly tightening narrative that grows from several seemingly unrelated scenarios to an action-packed climax and a long and breathless sea-chase, Geoffrey Tye develops an ingenious plot that spans a century of recent history and is filled with political intrigue and the double standards of the powerful. But the mounting tension and moments of violence are deftly offset by interludes of humour and romance, as Morgan John, late of MI6, rebel and loner by nature, and Dee Gallagher, intrepid journalist with a curious and sinister heritage, are one moment the pursuers, the next the pursued, in a world where it seems you can trust nobody.
