KOMPROMAT: the Russian term for compromising materials about a politician or other public figure

2016. The world is on the brink of crisis. Who could predict how events would play out?

In this satirical thriller, Stanley Johnson, former MEP and father to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, just might have.

In Britain, Prime Minister Jeremy Hartley is fighting a referendum nobody thinks he will lose.

In the USA, brash showman Ronald Craig is fighting a Presidential Election nobody thinks he can win.

In the USSR, Igor Popov, the Russian President, is using both events to achieve his own malevolent ends.

Together, these three men will change the course of the world forever.

In his brilliant new thriller, Stanley Johnson, environmentalist and former politician, has written an alternative account of the seismic events that took place on both sides of the Atlantic. There's greed, corruption, lies... what could possibly go wrong?

'Brilliant.' The Sunday Times

‘In its complex plotting and intrigue, Kompromat not only suggests that Russia was influencing the US election campaign, but behind the scenes bolstering the fortunes of the Leave campaign. Of course, Kompromat is an entertainment but Johnson is quite chuffed that some of his plot twists have proved prescient.’
