The Commissioner

Despite having the largest majority in Britain, it began to look as though James Morton's career as a rising Conservative star was on the wane. His American wife, restless and ambitious, had already found consolation within the opposition. Then Morton is nominated as the British member for the E.E.C. Commission in Brussels. But the arrival of a particular manila envelope in the late-evening mail, stamps a spectacular change on Morton's fortunes. From that moment on he would be fighting for his political and personal life.
