The role of the monarchy in modern Britain comes under scrutiny as Prime Minister Francis Urquhart threatens to expose Royal secrets when his plans are blocked by the idealistic new King. Their differences of opinion quickly degenerate into open hostility.

Yet it seems the public is tiring of him at last, and the movement to force him from power is growing. But Urquhart is not yet ready to be driven from office. If the public demands new blood, that is precisely what he will give them... This is a different Francis Urquhart - more vulnerable, more loving, and more ruthless than ever. He will risk everything, but one thing is certain: whatever the outcome of this, his greatest gamble, the name of Francis Urquhart will never be forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sourcebooks, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144895414512,"sku":"9781492610045","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781492610045_p0.jpg?v=1763661637","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781492610045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
