Boiling a frog Book 3

Jack Parlabane, the investigative journalist who is not averse to breaking the law for the sake of a good story, has finally been caught on the petard of his own self-confidence and is experiencing accommodation courtesy of Her Majesty. The fledgling Scottish parliament is in catatonic shock after experiencing its first dose of Westminster sleaze. The Catholic Church of Scotland is taking full advantage of the politicians' discomfort and is riding high in the polls as the voice of morality. Behind the scenes the truth is obscured by the machinations of the spin doctors and in prison, aware he's missing out on a great story, Parlabane discovers that contacts and a pretty way with words are no defence against people he has helped to put away. Part political satire, part cliff-hanging thriller this is high calibre entertainment.

In fact, it's more like the early nineties with bedroom morality once more dominating the policital agenda, with cabinet careers back in the gift of the tabloids and the clergy having delusions of relevance. It is precisely the sort of scandal Jack Parlabane was born to investigate. Problem is, he'd have to get out of jail first, and several of his fellow inmates haven't forgotten the investigative hack who put them there in the first place Jack Parlabane, the investigative journalist not averse to breaking the law for a good story, has been caught on the petard of his own self-confidence and is enjoying accommodation courtesy of Her Majesty. He finds that contacts and a way with words are no defence against those he helped put away.
