About this listen

Journalist Gil Peck is back; in therapy, married to Jess - now editor of the Financial Chronicle - and still driven by the need to prove a point that he can't quite identify.

Yet all is not well at home. Jess is fed up with Gil's obsession with his job, and she's kicked him out of their home.

But Gil has never let anything get in the way of a scoop. He and Jess have landed the interview of a lifetime with the Prime Minister, Stella Barnsbury, for the podcast they co-host, and Gil has no intention of missing it.

During the interview, Barnsbury begins to pale, her coughing intensifying before she finally collapses.

Within 48 hours, the Prime Minister is dead.

Gil is used to landing the biggest stories. But as the last person to see the PM alive, he's now a main character. And when foul play is confirmed, he's also a prime suspect...
