House of Cards Complete Special Edition Omnibuses

Francis Urquhart is Chief Whip and has his hand on every secret in politics - and is willing to use them to bring down the Prime Minister and then take his place. House of Cards is the first book in the trilogy that follows the schemes and machinations of FU, a politician who has his sights set on being the leader of the Conservative party. As the newly-elected Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, resigns and the party is left wondering who to elect as her successor, Urquhart is perfectly placed to stick the knife in to the leadership candidates. An election isn't the same as a coronation, after all. And so begins a series of scandals, leaks and back-stabbing that could only lead to one thing: his own rise to power. This is the ultimate thriller of the ultimate power game.
