Pitfalls of Power

In the amusing novel from Peter Spenger, Pitfalls of Power, readers are introduced to Percy Penislow.

From very ordinary beginnings in his native Cornwall, Percy, against all odds, somehow manages to squeak his way into power, becoming Prime Minister.

But that is only the start of his problems. He has a plentiful array of enemies who want to see him  toppled from power and sent back to the West Country with his tail firmly between his legs.

However, his enemies think they have him on the run due to a case of mistaken identity. 

Fortunately Percy has the support of his wife and some very good friends, plus his police protection officer and his communications officer who is so well connected that it's a bit scary!

They all agree that if Percy has a sworn enemy, it's probably Percy!

He embarks on a journey of political and self-discovery as he travels along several avenues, roads and lanes (so to speak) that are populated by a bewildering array of civil servants, fellow politicians    His voyage of self-discovery leads him down many avenues as he’s joined by a cast of civil servants, fellow politicians, journalists and the Downing Street cat.

Can Percy make it through? Will he merely survive or, with the help of his wife, friends and colleagues, actually succeed?

It's published by Matador at £8.99.
