Useful Idiots - Tapa blanda

" 'A thriller that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until the end... A stunning book, a rare combination of a nail-bitingly good read which is perfectly written' - TES 'Brimming with ideas... a book with great ambition' - Guardian"

Set in a highly realistic dystopic future, where the lowlands of Britain are flooded, this beautifully realised novel explores a world where archaeology is controlled for fear of social unrest. One bleak morning, a storm across the North Sea unveils a human skull, which leads to a series of events that changes the lives of those involved. Merrick, a young graduate archaeology student becomes embroiled in the task of discovering the origins of the skull. His interest in this bizarre case brings him into contact with the Inglish, a remnant tribe eking out an existence on the edge of Europe. In this wildly progressive new world, it is they who will be affected the most. This is a compelling vision of England as it could be in the not-so-distant future.
