Mouth of Outrage
"If paradise can be found anywhere on this earth, it is at Ascot, in late June where the best horse racing in the world takes place for the four days of the Royal Meeting. The highlight of this Greatest of Assemblies is the third day, Ladies Day. A display of wealth, fashion and subtly camouflaged commerce that is unique in contemporary Britain. For Ascot is all about the exhibition of power - social, financial and political."
Highly recommended!

With these opening words, Martin Wooller sets the scene for his first novel on the theme of BETRAYAL. Basing his story in London one summer, Wooller takes the lid off the contemporary financial scene, revealing how the directors of top investment banks mix business with pleasure at "society" occasions in "The London Social Season". His novel reveals the stark contrasts between the public face of commerce in the world's financial markets and its more sleazy corrupt private side - between the elegant formal dress worn to display wealth and the reality of that fast-disappearing wealth.
One of the City of London's top investment banks is in trouble. The directors have fought for years to conceal such difficulties but time is running out. To make matters worse, a massive loss on the derivatives trading desk erupts in their midst. Can the directors hide this scandal from their regulators at the Bank of England, or will that Oxbridge educated elite be too smart - or too cunning - for them? The Governorship of the Bank of England is about to become vacant. Will a scandal in the London financial markets prevent the first woman Deputy Governor in the Bank's history rising to the august position of Governor? Or will she show that she has an iron fist in that velvet glove?
The author is Martin Wooller, whose experience and detailed knowledge of the financial markets is revealed in this gripping thriller. He has twenty year's experience as a banker and fund manager, and still maintains his contacts in those fields to this day.
