In The Wake Of The Coup

This is a satirical political novel set in an offshore north-west European island. A tale of two countries – are they really Scotland and England? The civil service takes over government. Caledon, where a referendum vote favouring independence has been ignored, is given its autonomy, leaving Downsouth under a dictatorship. Caledon born McTavish and Ludmilla from an influential family in Downsouth, form a relationship whilst working together in Caledon where a colleague is mysteriously murdered.
