The Rake's Regression - Brent Cheetham

Bill Warren was a regular visitor to his nephew Albert Warren in his youth. But, all of a sudden, the visits stop and no-one will tell young Albert why.  Years later when old Bill Warren dies, young Albert is left 'something' in his will.  The 'something' ends up taking the covers off the murky underbelly world of radical politics and its relationship with the state.
