Description
The second novel in the trilogy that inspired the Netflix series House of Cards follows newly elected Prime Minister Francis Urquhart as he takes on the new King. When the idealistic monarch blocks his plans, Urquhart threatens to expose royal secrets, and their differences quickly turn into open hostility. Their battle ranges from architecture to the plight of the underprivileged, using rigged opinion polls, manipulated newspaper headlines, sexual scandal and economic brinkmanship. Urquhart sets out to destroy not only the King’s family and friends but the King himself, in this dark tale of greed, corruption and unquenchable ambition.
