The Ways We Live Now

This novel offers an eye-opening look into the modern senior Civil Service, revealing a world where corruption, personal greed, and commercial fraud thrive beneath a veneer of mutual protection and silence. It depicts a culture of deliberate avoidance and cover-ups, where highly capable civil servants shielding each other from criticism sustain a system designed to withstand exposure. Drawing parallels to historical scandals, the story exposes how entrenched interests manipulate retribution and penalties to safeguard their positions, exposing the darker side of governance in the twenty-first century.
