In the dotcom boom it was easy to make millions … and then lose them. And some people are not good losers. The year is 1999 and Internet companies are springing up everywhere. Anything seems possible for those who think big. David Lane – a quiet, cautious banker – is invited by his old friend Guy Jourdan to help start up ninetyminutes.com. He decides that for once he will do something daring, something dangerous. If only he’d realized quite how dangerous. Guy falls out with Tony Jourdan, his father and their biggest investor, bringing the company close to collapse. Then Tony is murdered – and David's roller-coaster ride in to danger and disaster begins. Michael Ridpath has written eight bestselling financial thrillers, published in over 30 countries. PRAISE FOR MICHAEL RIDPATH’S FINANCIAL THRILLERS: “Ridpath has that read-on factor that sets bestsellers apart.” - The Guardian “It is the author's insight into the complexities of the business that gives his novel so much life. And he can write... Yes, he has a winner here.” - The New York Times “It’ll send a shiver down bankers’ spines.” - Mirror “The author makes you feel the intensity of the trading floor, the combination of number-crunching and gut instinct that leads people to take big risks, the thrill of playing a hunch and getting it right.” - Los Angeles times Book Review “For sheer entertainment, there's nothing in the mystery genre to beat a well-constructed thriller… …the new book of Michael Ridpath provides a master-class in how it's done. I read it in one gulp." - The Observer “As slick and compulsive a piece of storytelling as can be found in the best of blockbuster fiction.” - Sunday Express.
