Book description
Charlotte Christie is under no illusion about her job: at Fitzgerald
Denton greed is good and you watch your back. But as she learns to
handle the jokes and the backstabbing and prove her worth as a broker.
Charlie unearths a scam. Almost untraceable, it could strike a deathblow
to Lloyd's of London and bring the government to its knees. By avoiding
Charlie, her opponents have made their single mistake. She has one
chance to strike back.
Samantha Phillips was born in Derbyshire, is a graduate of the
University of London and has a Masters from the Sorbonne in Paris.
Following a background in ship broking and advertising in Paris she
joined Lloyd's in 1989, employed by Willis Faber & Dumas as a
broker in their aviation division.
In November 1992 she left Willis Faber and began legal action
against the company. Two weeks later she published the first edition
of Inside Eye, a magazine that revealed what went on behind the
scenes at Lloyd's. After a two-year struggle she won a highly
publicised court case against her former employers. Samantha Phillips
lives in London and now writes full time.
