In London, 26-year-old Venetia Stanley - aristocratic, clever, bored, reckless - is having a love affair with the Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, a man more than twice her age. He writes to her obsessively, sharing the most sensitive matters of state.                      As Asquith reluctantly leads the country into war with Germany, a young intelligence officer is assigned to investigate a leak of top secret documents - and suddenly what was a sexual intrigue becomes a matter of national security that will alter the course of political history.  Seamlessly weaving fact and fiction in a way that no writer does better,'Precipice' is the thrilling new novel from Robert Harris.          Beginning with the best-seller 'Fatherland', Harris focused on events surrounding the Second World War,followed by works set in ancient Rome.
