A profound meditation on politics and a complex  portrait of English society,  it is also fast-paced and suspenseful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   Its narrator is Tom Grace, a pragmatic, efficient London barrister  with a comfortable life. But his ordered world is unsettled by his  involvement with a young man he defends in court - John Buckleson, the  charismatic leader of an anarchic movement calling themselves The Free  People. Though deeply divided in many ways, the two men are drawn to  each other by a common dream of creating a new social and moral order.  Buckleson, though, is a figure of interest to more people than those who  subscribe to his vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'C. J. Driver's exceptional  alertness to our times is matched by the power and zest of his evocative  writing, lit up by wry wit.'
