Description

Post-university life doesn't suit Phyl. She finds herself stuck in a routine of serving Japanese food to holidaymakers at Heathrow's Terminal 5, her writing aspirations stalled. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when family friend Chris comes to stay. Chris has been investigating a sinister think-tank founded at Cambridge University in the 1980s, which has been secretly pushing the British government towards a more extreme direction. As the new Prime Minister's tenure is set to come to an end, Chris's story takes a dark turn, leading him to a conference in the Cotswolds where a murder enquiry is underway. The solution to the mystery may lie in the past, rather than the present. Darting between decades and genres, The Proof of My Innocence is a wickedly funny and razor-sharp new novel from Jonathan Coe. The book explores how the key to understanding the present can often be found in the murkiest corners of the past. With its unique blend of genres and decades, this novel promises to be a gripping and thought-provoking read. With its intricate plot and witty prose, The Proof of My Innocence is a worthwhile read for fans of literary fiction and mystery.
