The compelling thriller from Geraint Anderson, 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.

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...

'If you liked CITYBOY, you'll love this. It's engaging, witty and suspenseful. As bold and innovative as its author, JUST BUSINESS takes the reader on a breath-taking guided tour of cocaine blizzards, bankers' drafts, and emotional whirlwinds. I could put it down but not until long after I'd finished it. It's first class' * Howard Marks * As a primer to back-stabbing, bullying, drug-taking, gambling, boozing, lap-dancing, this takes some beating ... a necessary and valuable book * <i>Evening Standard</i> * Engaging, timely and important * <i>Times</i> * His timing couldn't be better ...

Person
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.
