Good financial based novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I quite enjoyed this book. Maybe 'cause I love the intrigue of the money markets. This is a good novel about what happens when things go wrong and to the extreme when things get dangerous. Certainly worth a read.
A real Book Maker
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Although it reminded me very much of Grisham's "The firm", I liked it a lot and I am looking forward to reading the other Ridpaths. I found it very interesting getting a brief survey on London's brokerage scene and Nick's feelings and sceptiscism against it. Ridpath really knows how to treat the reader and to keep him continuing until the very end. The reason why I gave the book only four stars is the simple fact, that I don't believe that a single person is able to put so much pressure on an istitution like a big brokerage firm and I also find it unlikely hiring an outsider just because of his language skills.
Highly Recommended & addictive

my first Michael Ridpath book and addicted ever since, pity he's written only four thusfar. This book grips you from the start and you are sucked into the plot straight away.
Bonds Thrills and Suspense

Like previous novels by Mr. Ridpath, this book gives one a sense of the dealings that go on behind the backs of the rest of us. Good job!
