Mit seiner tabulosen Schilderung des Lebens im Londoner Finanzdistrikt bricht Geraint Anderson das Schweigegelübde der Square Mile. Als Staranalyst einer großen Investmentbank kennt der 'Cityboy' die schmutzigen Einzelheiten: die sechsstelligen Boni, die Monster-Egos, den dekadenten Wahnsinn zwischen Milliarden, Sex und Drogen in der Finanzmetropole Europas. Dieses Buch ist schonungslos und brutal – wie der kaputte Alltag der Banker.
Are you embarrassed that you can no longer fly off in your private jet to Barbados for Christmas? Downright mortified you can't pay for your wife's much-needed facelift? Humiliated that you can no longer afford to snort cocaine off a prostitute's backside? Well, have no fear, for Cityboy instructs you how to come to terms with your newly reduced financial circumstances without losing face (substitute talcum powder for charlie). Aided by helpful drawings and diagrams, he explains how to keep your job and your partner (send her out caroling to pay for Christmas dinner), or, failing that, find new ones. Finally, he shows you how to save cash whilst giving the impression that you're actually living a more luxurious life than ever before (photoshop photos of your kids onto some exotic backdrop and past liberally over facebook).
The compelling new thriller from the bestselling author of CITYBOY and JUST BUSINESS. When City high-flyer Bridget, recently fired from her bank, is found dead outside her high rise apartment, her colleagues assume she's committed suicide. Cityboy Steve Jones is outraged and he and his City workmates decide to take revenge. They hatch an ingenious plan to sabotage her firm and succeed in bringing it to its knees. After wildly celebrating their success, Bridget's boyfriend Fergus insists they take down a much more prominent bank. But soon the gang are being targeted by the police and financial regulators. There must be a rat in their midst but, if so, who? Steve investigates and digging deeper realises he could be on the trail of a murderer. Suddenly there's a distinct possibility that an even bigger revenge is being planned and this time the pay back is heading in his direction...
It's murder in the city... 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...
