Inalienable Right
In the age of AIDS and Section 28: a secret that could change political historyIt is 1987, and Tommy Wildeblood has put his days as a Piccadilly Circus rent boy long behind him. Slightly to his own surprise, he is now a rookie teacher at a South London comprehensive.But when Margaret Thatcher' s government launches a chilling attack on the &‘ promotion' of homosexuality in a new law known as Section 28, Tommy can' t stay silent &– especially when he realises he may have information about one of Thatcher' s key lieutenants that could change the political situation completely.Forming an uneasy alliance with a sharp-elbowed tabloid journalist, and delving deep into his past on the &‘ Dilly' , he puts everything on the line &– both for himself and his old friends &– in a desperate bid to expose the truth.With his trademark blend of historical research and &‘ what if' fiction, Adam Macqueen captures the spirit of a frightening age in another spellbinding case that lifts the lid on the Eighties political establishment' s murkiest secrets.
