Reviews
'A new and even nastier political villain! wickedly captivating.' Daily Express 'I ended up sitting up till the early hours, and for the next few days scenes and people kept going around in my head. You can't ask for more.' Jeremy Paxman 'A characteristic Dobbs tale, with the authentic stink of corruption. The Touch of Innocents is pure entertainment.' Daily Telegraph 'Dobbs has done it again! he's created an MP of breathtaking immorality.' Today
