Thomas Goodfellowe is far from an ordinary MP. He has an overdraft and an absent wife. A tormented daughter and a troublesome constituency. A sensational secretary and a drink-driving conviction.
He lives in London's Chinatown, and when he is called on to help a young Chinese girl, he has no idea that he will fall foul of the Prime Minister, the police and the press - particularly Freddy Corsa, a desperate newspaper proprietor, who sets out to ruin Goodfellowe - financially, politically and sexually.
Goodfellowe is one man against the system, and he is about to be destroyed in tomorrow's newspaper.

'Splendid, as good as anything Dobbs has done.' - Sunday Telegraph
For more than two decades Michael Dobbs has been at the right hand of political controversy. He was at Mrs Thatcher's side as she took her first step into Downing Street as Prime Minister, and was a key aide to John Major when he was voted out. In between times he was bombed in Brighton, banished from Chequers and blamed for failing to secure a Blair-Major television debate. His experiences have led him to be described as 'Westminster's baby-faced hit man' and 'a man who, in Latin America, would have been shot'.
Michael Dobbs' most recent novels , featuring his latest political hero, Thomas Goodfellowe MP, are Goodfellowe MP and The Buddha of Brewer Street.
