A world on the brink of catastrophe.\nIn London, twenty-six-year-old Venetia Stanley—aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless—is part of a fast group of upper-crust bohemians and socialites known as “The Coterie.” She’s also engaged in a clandestine love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. In this high-stakes entanglement, he writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state.\nAs Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer with Scotland Yard is assigned to investigate a leak of top-secret documents. Suddenly, what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that could topple the British government—and will alter the course of political history.\nAn unrivaled master of seamlessly weaving fact and fiction, this compelling historical thriller, Precipice, is another electrifying novel from the brilliant imagination of Robert Harris.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063248050\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0063248050.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Harris, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
