Book description
What do you do when you lose everything? It was one of the biggest
scandals of the 80s. Lloyd's. It started with just a few requests for
money from various Names. And then the demands got bigger. And bigger.
Until thousands of people found their lives ruined, homes gone and
relationships wrecked. All because of money. When you do have it, its
value isn't that important. When you don't - it's everything. Penny
