James Watson

Amy Douglas is fascinated by one of the patients at the psychiatric hospital where she is doing community service. Josef, an elderly Czech exile, is both a celebrated poet and suspected traitor.

When he returns to Prague with Amy, he discovers a different city from the one he fled all those years ago: a divided city oppressed by neo-Nazi thugs and full of a climate of distrust that is the legacy of communist rule.

Josef - whose return arouses fears of betrayal and denunciation - is to be honoured by an official reception, but as the great day approaches, Amy and the old man are caught up in a violent backlash...

Ticket to Prague is a dramatic political thriller and a heart-warming story of friendship and loyalty.
