From these facts Hugh Whitemore has written a powerfully moving fictional account of the events leading up to their arrest with the action centered on the totally unsuspecting Jackson household - Bob, Barbara and their daughter Julie. The Jacksons live opposite the Krogers, believing them to be a convivial Canadian couple and their closest friends. Then a mysterious stranger arrives, announcing he is from MI5 and quietly coerces the Jacksons into allowing their house to be used as a surveillance post.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the nightmare months that follow, the Jacksons' decent, happy life is shattered as the truth about their much-loved friends is gradually revealed to them and, helpless in an alien, sordid world of deception and treachery, Barbara reaches breaking point with the agonizing realization that the Krogers have betrayed her and she, in turn, has betrayed the Krogers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes notes for teachers and those studying the play, written by Anthony Banks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Whitemore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783197919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783197910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Hugh Whitemore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311087341823,"sku":"9781783197910","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfb5fded-c8cf-411e-bc72-ecea935b9b93.jpg?v=1730888076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pack-of-lies-hugh-whitemore-9781783197910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
