Description
This is the third installment to "At Bonus Time, No-one Can Hear You Scream" and "Trust Me, I'm a Banker" by the bestselling author of "No Tears" and "I Love You"...and "Other Lies".I look around the eager, smiling faces of my heads of department. Bastards. I know they'll have been scheming. I'll leave it a couple of days to make them feel safe, then have a couple taken out and shot to encourage the others...As I emerge onto the floor there's pandemonium, as all business stops and the traders cheer and whoop and high five each other. Isn't it wonderful? My people love me. The fact is, they couldn't have cared less about me, and why should they? Imagine the extra headroom in the bonus pool if I wasn't around to take the first slice.Recovering in a posh clinic after his explosive ending in "Trust Me, I'm a Banker", Hart is re-united with his old investment banking team from Grossbank (yes!
'Two Livers' is still around) to continue his epic quest: Avoid a boring life, make as much money as possible, frustrate an ex-wife's avaricious intent, punish all his enemies, consume as many drugs and frolic with as many girls as he can possibly manage, whilst pursuing investment banking financial world domination to facilitate his insatiable appetites.Even his old merchant bank, Barton's, where it all began, will feel Hart's revenge and when he decides to do good for the poor of Africa (and Grossbank), readers can be reassured the tale's final pages are as riveting as ever, and will leave them anxious for the final part of this remarkable quartet.

Person
David Charters is a former diplomat and investment banker, who left the City in 2000 after twelve years working on many of the largest international flotations and privatisations. He is co-founder of the Beacon Prize for philanthropy and is married with seven children. He lives in London and Devon. Alice Rosenbaum, of Dazed & Confused, has taken photographs of the City, its people and setting, and Frankfurt, to add a pictorial dimension to the two previous chronicles of Dave Hart's rise and rise in the mythic square mile. She adds Paris to her portfolio with this third instalment.
