Checking My Innocence

Life after university is not going well for Prim. Time barely crawls, she lives at home with her parents, working as a waitress, serving Japanese food to passengers in terminal 5 of Heathrow airport. She cherishes the dream of becoming a writer, but she is not making any progress on that path. Her life is a swamp. Until a family friend, Christopher, arrives. He has been trying for many years to uncover the plans of a sinister analytical center founded at Cambridge University in the 1980s, the activity of this organization is to push the British government down the most dangerous and extreme path. And now Christopher has gotten very close. But speaking the truth about those in power is always dangerous, as any power will stop at nothing to remain on top. Moving between decades and genres, Coe has once again written a venomously funny, razor-sharp novel.
