A Vacuum of Reason Constance DeWitt

How to conquer London, the "Greatest City in the World (TM)?"Operation Nightingale is a top-secret UK government project, making use of the world's most technologically advanced traffic cones. Commandeered by the Devil himself - made flesh in the obvious form of the Foreign Secretary - it is used to bring London to its very knees. Meanwhile, by way of a spreadsheet bug on the Chancellor of the Exchequer's laptop, the United Kingdom is found to be bankrupt. A plot to sever London from the rest of the UK is put into place... The Retail Factions of London - including the Restaurant Guild and bitter enemies, the Cocktail Consortium and the Coffee-shop Council - step up to fill the vacuum of power within London should the plot succeed. Can Jayne Mendis and Harry Lett, the simplest of star-crossed lovers, defeat the Foreign Secretary and bring peace and harmony to London? Perhaps... but only with the help of some cyborg taxi-drivers and a platoon of super-trained domestic cleaners. A Vacuum of Reason. Prepare for a tale of subterfuge, romance, murder, betrayal and a love-lorn double-decker bus. Set in a city you thought you knew yet may fear to ever visit again.
