Precipice [sound recording] / Robert Harris.

Harris, Robert (author.).

Summary:

Summer 1914. A world on the brink of catastrophe. In London, twenty-six-year-old Venetia Stanley, aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless, is part of a fast group of upper-crust bohemians and socialites known as "The Coterie." She's also engaged in a clandestine love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. He writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state. As Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer with Scotland Yard is assigned to investigate a leak of top-secret documents. Suddenly, what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that could topple the British government, and will alter the course of political history.
