Steven Cane is a young, energetic and charismatic Prime Minister who has known nothing but success and popularity in his first term of office. Yet there is one thing that he craves over and above everything else - to be the first leader of his party to achieve a Second Term of office. And no one is more determined to help him achieve that end than the feisty, flame-haired beauty constantly at his side: his spin doctor "Charlie" Redpath. Her guile and genius has helped Cane establish a seemingly unassailable lead over the weak and divided Opposition, led by the redoubtable Madeleine Bathurst. But as the General Election approaches, problems start to mount. Ballot rigging, a Euro referendum that goes wrong and a terrorist attack all add to Cane's mounting woes.
What is wrong with the PM's wife Lucy? Why does she so loathe Charlie? Is Cane's bitter Cabinet rival Gareth Greaves plotting against him? Will Chancellor of the Exchequer Ronnie Silverman live to regret his liaison dangereuse?
Charlie has sacrificed everything for Cane, but power is not all she lusts after - as Greaves well knows.
