About This Book
On a chilly February day, two old friends meet in the throng outside a London
crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and
Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their
current eminence: Clive is Britain's most successful modern composer, and Vernon
is editor of the newspaper The Judge. Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers,
too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped
to be the next prime minister.
In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact with
consequences that neither could have foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral
decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits, and Julian Garmony will
be fighting for his political life. A sharp contemporary morality tale, cleverly
disguised as a comic novel, Amsterdam is "as sheerly enjoyable a book as one is
likely to pick up this year" (The Washington Post Book World).
