Description
'Fiction does not get more contemporary than this . . . terrific writing and crackling lines' Daily Mail On the morning after his sixtieth birthday party, Ned Marriott, one of the UK's best-known historians, is rudely awoken by detectives from 'Operation Millpond', come to arrest him over an allegation of sexual assault. He would usually turn to his lifelong friend Dr Tom Pimm, but Tom has just been informed that a secret investigation has raised anonymous complaints that may end his career too. Swinging between fear, bewilderment and anger, Ned and Tom must try to defend themselves against the allegations. Their families and friends are forced to question what they know and think. Can the complainants, detectives, HR teams, journalists and Tweeters all be seeing smoke that has no fire behind it? By turns shocking, comic and thoughtful, The Allegations startlingly captures a contemporary culture in which allegations are easily made and reputations casually destroyed. 'A darkly funny and perceptive comic novel' The Times
