House of Cards

Om boken

The acclaimed political thriller that introduced the unforgettable Francis Urquhart MP. Michael Dobbs' entertaining tale of skulduggery and intrigue within the Palace of Westminster follows scheming Chief Whip Francis Urquhart, who uses fair means and foul to become Prime Minister. Acclaimed for its authenticity and insights into a secret world—the result of many years working behind the scenes for the Conservative Party—the novel became a highly popular, award-winning BBC TV series, with Francis Urquhart memorably portrayed by Ian Richardson.
