<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">iPod Audiobook - The Ghost - New Political Thriller by Robert Harris - M4B-128k - BBC Radio - cheops</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br />
<br />
Robert Harris' thriller about a professional ghost writer who takes on an assignment to write the memoirs of former Prime Minister Adam Lang.<br />
<br />
A sparkling satirical thriller that is also a <span style="font-weight: bold;">thinly disguised critique of the Blair years in Britain</span><!--bold-->. Harris worked closely with the former prime minister during the early days of new Labour, but eventually became disenchanted. This is a fine read and a genuinely thrilling tale that slips easily into the murky world of modern-day politics.<br />
