Product Description

Synopsis
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heeeeeeeee's Baaaaaaaaaaack!!!! And funnier than ever!, 12 Feb 2008
By Norman Eskind (Dallas, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just when you thought it was safe and the time was right to start believing your fellow human being was capable of doing the right thing, David Charters (ooops, I mean Dave Hart) returns to regale us in the ways of the wicked City. Charters, an absolutely brilliant satirist, has created one of the most despicable (and heartless) characters in literature, that is to say, the venal Dave Hart. Everything that Hart does turns out correctly, but for all the wrong reasons. It is true that the lovely "Two Livers" is there to assist him when Hart is in action, but Hart, inspite of himself, has done no wrong.

In order the get the most out of this book, it truly helps to read the first two installments in the Dave Hart saga - "At Bonus Time, No-one Can Hear You Scream" and "Trust Me, I'm a Banker". Otherwise, you won't completely appreciate the shallowness of Dave Hart and the depth of the wit of David Charters.

Originally this was to be the third installment of a trilogy, but it looks like a fourth segment is in the works, Where Egos Dare, to be published in the Autumn of 2009. Will Hart be brought to heel or will he live to see another day? Only Charters knows for certain (and so far he hasn't told us).

And once again, Alice Rosenbaum has taken marvelous pictures along the way.
