In the age of AIDS and Section 28: a secret that could change political history
It is 1987, and Tommy Wildeblood has put his days as a Piccadilly Circus rent boy long behind him. Slightly to his own surprise, he is now a rookie teacher at a South London comprehensive.
But when Margaret Thatcher’s government launches a chilling attack on the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in a new law known as Section 28, Tommy can’t stay silent – especially when he realises he may have information about one of Thatcher’s key lieutenants that could change the political situation completely.
Forming an uneasy alliance with a sharp-elbowed tabloid journalist, and delving deep into his past on the ‘Dilly’, he puts everything on the line – both for himself and his old friends – in a desperate bid to expose the truth.
With his trademark blend of historical research and ‘what if’ fiction, Adam Macqueen captures the spirit of a frightening age in another spellbinding case that lifts the lid on the Eighties political establishment’s murkiest secrets.
