Book description
Heads You Win is a tragicomedy of second chances. After taking
early retirement, Gus Cotton is surprised to find himself persuaded by
two old friends - a disgraced wheeler-dealer and a convicted drug
smuggler - into taking on the City by launching the greatest
headhunting company of all time. Added to this mix, the fourth partner
in their venture is a beautiful young woman with an alcoholic past.
In this, the final volume of his Chronicle of Modern Twilight
series, Ferdinand Mount has created a poignant and hilariously funny
exploration of the concept that none of us is beyond redemption.
