"Acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Bleak House, Pride and Prejudice) won an Emmy Award for this thrilling adaptation of Michael Dobbs' bestselling novels. House of Cards is a delicious tale of greed, corruption and burning ambition. At its heart is Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), a black-hearted villain with a smiling face, who shares with the viewers his estranged humor and innermost thoughts to destroy each of his political rivals. One by one his opponents tumble, until at last there is just one wild card left in the pack."--Container.
