A call from the US president to Canada's prime minister . . . An intimate reception at the Ottawa residence of Her Majesty's governor general . . . The arrival of a ship in Vancouver. Three seemingly unrelated events three thousand miles apart upset the balance of global power and alter the landscape of the free world. As Canada's prime minister, James Howden, works to ensure his nation's survival in a nuclear war, he faces another threat: a lawyer on a crusade for justice and truth. With two nations struggling to keep a lid on an explosive secret, Howden will undergo a crisis of conscience that leaves him fighting for his political life.
At once an electrifying novel of international politics during the Cold War and a cautionary tale about what can happen when men believe they are above the law, In High Placesis Arthur Hailey's personal favorite of all his works.
