Local Government in Britain Since Reorganization

Borough Government and Politics: Reading 1835-1985

Originally published in 1982, this book was the first comprehensive, critical assessment of the outcome of the controversial reorganisation of British local government outside London which took place between 1973 and 1975. The book deals with the new systems in England, Wales and Scotland, drawing upon the results of almost 100 in-depth interviews with leading members and officers from Shetland to Cornwall, from major cities to rural districts. Liaison between the tiers, the effects of corporate management, the spread of the office of chief executive, the increasing levels of partisanship and the changing face of central-local relations are examined on the basis of close observation and practical experience rather than theoretical preconceptions.

Procedural crime thriller based in Aberdeen, Scotland, featuring DCI Vanessa Fiske (who has just discovered she is pregnant) and DI Colin MacNee, in the run-up to the Scottish independence referendum, involving highly placed political figures. Two murders, one in a hospital (death by lethal injection) whose management has been outsourced to a US health management company, the other (body found at the bottom of an inspection chamber) on an oil rig run by a US drilling company. Both companies turn out to be owned by a secretive private equity conglomerate with highly placed political figures (including a former UK prime minister) on its board. A bomb at an American leisure development in the Cairngorms and a cyber attack on a US-owned mail-order fulfilment company in Cumbernauld raise questions about US investment, economic performance, nationalist terrorism and the referendum. Investigations implicate the closest adviser to the First Minister of Scotland and his past relationship with radical separatists and his collusion with the former UK prime minister to undermine the performance of US companies in Scotland. The novel culminates in DCI Fiske's attempts to arrest the fugitive former PM in the Caribbean where he has links to an offshore tax haven.
