Former journalist Keith Mabbut gets an offer to write the seminal biography of the iconic and elusive environmental activist Hamish Melville. He takes the job, finds Melville, gains his trust, and writes the book. Then his troubles begin. His publisher demands more dirt on Melville—and shows Keith where to find it. In his search for the truth about his subject, Keith discovers that truth is subject to interpretation. Palin (Brazil) captures the struggle between truth and justice on one hand and power and influence on the other. His story is both compelling and entertaining. Well read, with distinctive character voices, by Alex Jennings.
VERDICT Recommended to listeners who enjoy general fiction titles.
