Product Description
Product Description
Financial terrorism is now the name of the game. And Charles and Jacqui Rossi are no novices. They use their ownership of the highly regarded International Bank of Europe to launch a series of incredible attacks on markets all over the world. They use banks to channel fraudulent products to the unsuspecting wider public. They use insider dealing to falsify share prices. They use markets to build up huge and speculative positions, spreading false rumours to achieve their ends. And they use murder to eliminate anyone who comes between them and their ambition to be the most powerful people in their world. But they have fierce opposition, primarily in the form of Jacqui's father, a Mafia don. He is at home in the world of old crime drugs, prostitution and protection rackets. He wants to continue heading the leading Mafia family in America, but, for that, he needs the help of Charles and Jacqui. And, when he can't get it, their two worlds clash financial crime against a Mafia which will stop at nothing to achieve its objectives and will destroy anyone who opposes its plans. But it is up against unlimited money and that can be as ruthless a weapon as anything the Mafia have in their arsenal. Even the most trusted government officials are seduced by the wealth on offer. Regulators are powerless and the law is irrelevant as the bankers have the best, and the most unscrupulous, lawyers on their side. Much of the fiction in John Gubert's first novel, One Step To Danger, became a reality. It is just a matter of time before the same happens to The Financial Terrorist.

What can I say. For some reason after the second line of the prologue, my suspicions were raised as to the quality of the writing to follow. I received this book as a gift from my husband, and was roaring with laughter even on the first page. Who could possibly think up a character called The Honourable James Johnson-St-John-James? Even his parents wouldn't have. Or Sir Brian Ffinch-Farquar, or the Lord Dunkillin?
When I had wiped the tears from my eyes, and endured the first clunkily-written sex scene, I pondered that in my 12 years of working in the City in financial institutions, I had not yet become a multi-billionaire head of my own bank, as the main protagonists of the mafia don's daughter and her husband; son of an embezzler. Neither had most of the people I worked with.
I'm still working my way through the book, and it has been a long time since I have laughed out loud as much as reading that the characters are not planning a summer pregnancy, as winter maternity clothes are more stylish (the male character's musings about his wife), or about their search for a mafia-trained nanny.
You may enjoy this romp if you read it with the tongue-in-cheek it was maybe intended for, or a great comic caper of guns, exploding cars, Russian hit men and that bloody boardroom table that they keep trying to have sex on...
