'A skilful prose stylist and a connoisseur of telling details' Guardian
Ageing war correspondent Lawrence Leith has retreated to a small village in the French countryside to mourn the end of his marriage and the loss of his job.
When his old friend Martin Elliott arrives, he stirs memories that Lawrence has been trying to forget; memories of a dusty road in the Congo where everything went disastrously wrong. Martin is convinced that Lawrence needs to get back in the game but when that involves returning to Africa, Lawrence isn't convinced. That is until he meets Isabelle Vernet, the woman leading the trip . . .
Masterfully constructed and universally topical, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST is a novel about personal betrayal and political double-dealing, about the realities of being in the public eye and how the truth, no matter how hidden, will always out.
