Good For The Soul (en Inglés) - Philip Rennett

Good For The Soul is an acerbic, heartrending and laugh-out-loud satirical rollercoaster. This fast-paced, bright and breezy novel rips chunks out of politicians and oligarchs, spits them onto the ground, then grinds them into a mush, before wiping its feet on the doormat and heading inside for a cup of tea. 

Six months after assisting the UK's missing prime minister and avoiding two assassination attempts on the same day, Simon Pope is on holiday with friends, trying to cheer up a man who finds retirement depressing. But Pope also has a secret mission, which requires him to remain unobtrusive. He must assess whether specific individuals in the small Irish town of Clonbrinny are in mortal danger from a criminal overlord.

Failing miserably to maintain the desired low profile, Pope and his group become embroiled in events outside their control and discover all is not as it seems. 

Perceptions dissolve, revealing a far more dangerous reality.

Meanwhile, former prime minister Andrew Blackwell's self-imposed media silence has made him more popular than ever. His Path Finder philosophy generates global intrigue and excitement, despite nobody knowing what it is - including him.

When a secret conference on Ireland's west coast goes badly wrong, Blackwell must evade a media manhunt and return to London, relying on old friends for help.

Subsequent events and a meeting of minds raise the prospect of an unlikely collaboration, creating the foundation of a movement that could transform the world.

Good For The Soul is the second book in the Path Finder series and follows on from the award-winning Paths Not Yet Taken.
