When diplomacy meets disaster... Guy Manners is the civil servant who never quite escapes the firing line-whether it's a snooker cue sealing Franco-British relations, a paperknife threatening trade with China, or a bridge club plot that could topple the Prime Minister. From the hallowed halls of Whitehall to the genteel chaos of heritage houses and golf marquees, these witty tales lift the lid on the absurdities of power, privilege, and polite society. Sharp, satirical, and irresistibly British-perfect for fans of Wodehouse and Yes, Minister.
