A WORLD ON THE BRINK OF WAR. AN AFFAIR ON THE EDGE OF SCANDAL. FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'A riveting tale of politics, war and erotic obsession' Sunday Times 'His most enthralling yet . . . a slam dunk of a plot . . . extraordinary' Nicholas Coleridge, Independent 'Gripping . . . Harris also has the John le Carré gift for showing how meetings can become a form of blood sport' Jake Kerridge, Telegraph 'Splendid' Max Hastings, Sunday Times Summer 1914. A world on the brink of catastrophe. In London, 26-year-old Venetia Stanley - aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless - is having a love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. He writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state. As Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer is assigned to investigate a leak of top secret documents - and suddenly what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that will alter the course of political history. Seamlessly weaving fact and fiction in a way that no writer does better, Precipice is the thrilling new novel from Robert Harris. 'The king of the page-turning thriller' i Paper 'Harris's cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none' Sunday Times 'Harris writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match' Financial Times 'Harris is a master of historical fiction, a compelling author who brings to life the recent and ancient past' TLS
