Publisher's Synopsis
On the morning after he has celebrated his 60th birthday at a celebrity-filled party, Ned Marriott is in bed with his partner when there's a knock on the door. Detectives from the London police force's 'Operation Millpond' have come to arrest him over an allegation of sexual assault. Ned is one of the country's best-known historians - teaching at a top university, advising governments and making TV documentaries - but this 'historic' claim threatens to ruin him. Can the complainants, detectives, HR teams, journalists and Tweeters who are driving the stories all be seeing smoke with no fire behind it?
