Book description
Cityboy is back! The bestselling author of CITYBOY, which sold over
200,000 copies, returns with an explosive, edge-of-the-seat,
no-holds-barred thriller of City corruption, scams and monstrously bad
behaviour. Steve Jones, our Cityboy hero, wants out. He's looking to
cash-in before the soul-stripping toil of coining it in London's
financial heartland turns into a life sentence. All it will take is a
handsome seven figure wedge in the bank and it's the good life for him
and goodbye to the horrors of the Square Mile. Like the expert chancer
he is, he sees an opportunity. Hacking into his boss's computer, he
finds something that chills him to the bone. This is big time; there are
bad men involved; there are millions at stake. So no change there then.
But when he stumbles upon a murder and becomes the prime suspect, he has
to go on the run. Together with his partner Gemma, he improvises
ingenious ways of outwitting the authorities, a vicious drug cartel and
even M15 in a chase that will send him half way round the world if he's
going to stay alive... Before sacrificing his soul to dark forces in
the Square Mile, Cityboy was a genuine left-wing hippy and political
activist, complete with ponytail and hoop earrings. His dream of
becoming a global traveller was cruelly dashed when his brother got him
an interview at a French bank in the City, which would set him on the
rocky road to destruction and despair.
