Really dark is Derek Raymond - and darkest of all is his "I Was Dora Suarez". Don't read it if you are not in a good place, mentally and emotionally. It was the last novel Raymond ever wrote...

Hello - I'm trying to track down a book which I've owned previously, and now, for no special reason, want to remember the title/author. It's a thriller about a group of conservative British clubman types who assassinate people they consider are doing harm to the country - a Scargill-like union leader, a left-wing TV personality, I think, maybe an MP, possibly even a bishop? It all falls apart in the end of course, as the leaders go too far, etc, etc. Published late 60s or early 70s, I think, and I recall the Pan paperback having a picture of a man in a suit and bowler hat, but with a Union Jack where the face should be (all this is from my very fallible memory!) Anyone who can come up with title and/or author will have my gratitude! Cheers Nick Allen
