A Friend In Deed by GD Harper -political thriller #GIVEAWAY **
Duncan is a freelance investigative journalist. Twenty years ago he wrote a story that
culminated in an innocent man going to jail and his close friend being hounded. When
his reliable contract is let go along with several others at a newspaper he decides he
has to do more to keep the wolf from the door. He finds an IT contact and through an
innocent meeting with Tanya, a Ukranian, he begins to uncover a story. I’m not
normally into political thrillers (I read this one having read Silent Money and having
been very impressed with the author) and this drew me in very quickly. I took to
Duncan and his tenacity for the truth and Tanya who came across as very likeable
and with a smile. GD Harper is a wordsmith and gets the plot across very well
( especially for someone like me not into politics at all). Maybe just maybe there
is a hint of truth of world politics in here too? This is a fast paced thriller that
definitely keeps the pages turning. A gripping story with twists along the way
and characters you can empathise with. A brilliant read 5*

A Friend In Deed
Britain: a few years from now. A new populist political party has won the recent general election.
Duncan Jones, freelance political journalist and blogger, loses his weekly column at a national newspaper and turns to investigative reporting. The chance remark of a friend leads him to suspect that the Russians are directing the new British government's policies and decisions. As he visits Moscow and Ukraine to discover more, scandal follows intrigue, dark forces attempt to silence him by whatever means possible and he turns to an unlikely ally for help.
A Friend in Deed is a fast-paced psychological thriller set in an all-too-believable near future. It is also the story of how one man confronts the traumas in his past and works out how to resolve them.

Author Bio –
I was placed third in the 2015 Lightship Prize for first-time authors, won a 2016 Wishing Shelf Award Red Ribbon, been shortlisted at the UK Festival of Writing for Best First Chapter, longlisted in the 2017 UK Novel Writing Competition.
In 2017, I was one of twelve authors selected for Authors in the Spotlight at the Bloody Scotland book festival in Stirling, showcasing who they considered to be the best emerging talent in crime fiction, and was the only self-published author to be chosen. I have spoken at numerous other book events, including Blackwells' Writers at the Fringe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; a stand-alone slot at the Byres Road Book Festival in Glasgow, and the Aye Write! Book Festival, also in Glasgow.
I worked in Russia and Ukraine for ten years, which gave me the ideas for the plot and setting that I used in A Friend in Deed.
