Description

A meticulous and gripping retelling of one of the most ambitious assassination attempts against the British establishment. In September 1984, a bomb was planted in a hotel room in Brighton, with the intention of targeting Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. This novel weaves together multiple perspectives to recreate the events leading up to the attempted assassination. Set against the contrasting backdrop of a luxurious tourist town and a troubled city, the story unfolds through the eyes of individuals from different walks of life. A young explosives expert, a hotel manager, and his teenage daughter all play a part in this gripping narrative. With its ambitious scope and intricate plotting, High Dive is a compelling exploration of politics, family, and loyalty.
