Dystopia

‘Dystopia’ is a high-octane political thriller set during the UK’s Brexit referendum, with an intriguing love story that enthrals up to its climactic ending.

Ellis has the right degree, family, connections – and a great pad in Brighton. But he’s in with the wrong crowd – a notorious DJ and the beautiful yet enigmatic Madeleine who has a hold over him from the moment they meet. When Ellis becomes prime suspect in the murder of a model, he escapes by enlisting in the European Secret Intelligence Service in Paris. Caught in the clutches of a dark political underworld, he must embark on a helter-skelter journey across France to survive.
