Description

For Ned, 1978 seems a blissful year. Handsome, popular responsible, and a fine cricketer, life is progressing smoothly, if not effortlessly.

When he meets Portia Fendeman his personal jigsaw appears complete.

What if her left-wing parents despise his Tory MP father?

Doesn't that just make them star-crossed lovers? And surely, in the end, won't the Fendemans be won over by their happiness?

But, of course, one person's happiness is another's jealous spite. And spite is about to change Ned's life forever. A promise made to a dying teacher and a vile trick played by fellow pupils rocket Ned from cricket captain to solitary confinement, from head boy to political prisoner.

More than twenty years later, Ned returns to London, a very different man from the boy seized outside a Knightsbridge language college.

A man implacably focused on revenge. Revenge is a dish he plans to savour and serve to those who conspired against him, and those who forgot him.
