β¦ Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestselling author Arthur Hailey takes readers into the highest echelons of government as two nationsβ leaders prepare for a third world war
A call from the US president to Canadaβs prime minister . . . An intimate reception at the Ottawa residence of Her Majestyβs 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 Canadaβs prime minister, James Howden, works to ensure his nationβs 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 Places is Arthur Haileyβs personal favorite of all his works.
