We thought the best way possible would be to ask distinguished writers to write short articles with one aim – to stop people saying "I really must get round to reading 'Middlemarch' and show them why they just have to pick the book up and read it today. Of course many people will imagine that this apparently serious and forbidding character - a sort of Queen Victoria with a brain - is not for them.

Enter the shocking world of the modern senior Civil Service where the power to award enormous contracts can lead to massive corruption, fuelled by personal greed and commercial fraud. In this novel of our times and ways of life, this cosy world of mutual protection and closing ranks against outsiders is laid bare – a world made possible by a culture of wilful blindness. The senior civil servants are bound together by a code of not just looking the other way but of deliberately avoiding any investigation of other senior civil servants’ activities. Highly intelligent and immensely capable...

No one, on that warm summer's day, could have foretold the orgy of wanton death and destruction, which was set on a collision course towards the peaceful kingdom of Mercia. A small group; thrown together through fate.
