Description
The second instalment in a gripping trilogy that inspired a hit Netflix series. Francis Urquhart, newly elected Prime Minister, takes aim at the monarchy, threatening to expose Royal secrets and sparking a bitter struggle with the idealistic new King. As their differences of opinion escalate into open hostility, the battle for power becomes a war of wits, with rigged opinion polls, manipulated headlines, and personal scandals being used as tools of destruction. The role of the monarchy in modern Britain is put under intense scrutiny, revealing the dark side of politics, greed, corruption, and unquenchable ambition. A gripping tale of intrigue and passion, To Play the King offers a thought-provoking look at the corridors of power, where politics and personal relationships collide.
