The Seaweed Cage Dorothy Bruce

A second political novel set in Caledon In a political culture underpinned by the desire for power at all costs, three women on different journeys clash and tangle when novelist and playwright Lippy is sucked into the life of Ramsay, ex-Member of Parliament and fall-guy in the expenses scandal. Lippy, Selina and Jasmine become enmeshed in a deadly struggle for power within the People?s Union Party in the Caledon Parliament where the Party?s hierarchy is determined to continue reigning supreme and to regain, at whatever cost, their lost ?rightful? government role. Empathy and machinations bring about winners and losers in both love and politics, the uncovering of murky deeds, a murder investigated by Detective Inspector Raisin, and a chilling event that changes lives. Once the threads are tugged, all lead back to one surprising person.
