'Around the time The Bodyguard got too ludicrous for words I thought: "how come nobody has adapted Richard T Kelly's political thriller The Knives into the edge-of-your-seat Sunday night TV hit it demands to be?" Maybe because its hero is a Conservative home secretary dealing with the life-threatening consequences of piloting anti-terrorism legislation through parliament. More likely because he's a believable individual rather than some devil man along the lines of Frank Underwood in House of Cards.' (David Hepworth New Statesman BOOKS OF THE YEAR)
