β¦ Synopsis
St Pauls College, Cambridge: a college of secrets, and secrets about secrets. When Spencer Flowers academic, with PhDs in gin and men commits an indiscretion that comes to the all-seeing eye of the Master of St Pauls, Amanda Chatteris, she makes him an offer he can barely understand and cannot refuse.
The Cambridge Bugle: a tiny local newspaper run by a duo with a shady Fleet Street past. Rookie reporter Conor Geraghty wants to expose bad guys with twirly moustaches but is stuck with articles about grumpy pensioners and cracked paving slabs. And then he meets a mysterious stranger who wants to right an old wrong.
The Pink and the Grey is a comedy of revenge and truth, of watchers and watched, and of an accelerating crisis that could see the end of Spencer and Conor and even St Pauls.
