    England in den frühen 80er Jahren: Das Leben der Arbeiter im ganzen Land ist geprägt von Aufständen und Unruhen. Währenddessen macht die kleine Firma Cachet den großen Reibach mit UPVC-Doppelverglasung, einer spottbilligen Alternative zu Holz. Was für andere nur Plastik ist, ist für sie weißes Gold. Vincent Swan, der ebenso gutaussehende wie arrogante Verkaufsleiter bei Cachet, verkauft vor allem sein Lieblingsprodukt: sich selbst. Für seine wunderschöne Ehefrau Sam würde er alles tun. Außer vielleicht, ihr die Beachtung zu schenken, die sie verdient. Oder ihr treu zu sein.Bei Cachet steht viel auf dem Spiel, und dementsprechend großartig ist die Belegschaft: Martin Lavender hat mit seiner gefloppten Karriere als Popstar abgeschlossen und einen Universitätsabschluss, der im Vertrieb ungefähr so nützlich ist wie ein Kondom mit Lüftung. Brian Fitzpatrick ist ein begnadeter Lügner ohne jeden Skrupel - und gilt somit als talentiert. Und dann ist da noch Carol, die vermutlich schlechteste Empfangsdame Englands. Vincent ist wild entschlossen es in der Geschäftswelt bis ganz nach oben zu schaffen. Doch er spielt gefährliche Spielchen mit gefährlichen Leuten.

Mme.’s peckish passion for excellence has inspired universal fear and loathing. A student discovers Mme.’s cloaked hanging effigy. Then Sarah finds a bludgeoned body wearing Mme’s trademark cape. But the victim is not Mme. Is it a case of mistaken identity? It’s up to Sarah, aided by her husband Alex, to find the killer before he strikes again - while the prime suspects, three fractious students, and three furtive professors, follow her every move.... ungekürzt.

    In the summer of 1968, the year of Prague Spring with a Cold War winter, Oxford students James Borthwick and Eleanor Pike set out to hitchhike across Europe, complicating a budding friendship that could be something more. Having reached southern Germany, they decide on a whim to visit Czechoslovakia, where Alexander Dubcek's 'socialism with a human face' is smiling on the world. Meanwhile, Sam Wareham, First Secretary at the British embassy in Prague, observes developments in the country with a diplomat's cynicism and a young man's passion. In the company of Czech student Lenka Konecková, he finds a way into the world of Czechoslovak youth, with all its hopes and new ideas; now, nothing seems off-limits behind the Iron Curtain. But the great wheels of politics are grinding in the background; Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev is making demands of Dubcek, and the Red Army is massing on the borders. ungekürzt. Language: English.
