Richard tells Leo that he´s been researching a book so explosive that it might put his life in danger: the true story of a group of students and academics, all present at Cambridge University in the early 1980s, who went on to form an influential thinktank which has been quietly lobbying the government to sell off the NHS.After years in the political wilderness they´re finally in a position to put their plans into action. Richard is on the cusp of a major breakthrough when tragedy strikes, throwing the Reeves´s family life into turmoil, and prompting Leo to turn detective. But does the solution to Richard´s murder lie in contemporary politics, or somewhere else entirely in a literary enigma that is almost forty years old?Darting between decades, perspectives and countries, THE PROOF OF MY INNOCENCE is a stateofthenation novel with a big heart, exploring how the key to understanding the present can only be found in the murky past. Most of all it is an exploration of a young graduate finding her way in the uncertain and constantly shifting Britain into which she was born.
