Product Description

Product Description

Undercover agent Sarah Jensen is sent to investigate a billion dollar conspiracywhose chief suspects are a government banker,the Mafia & a merchant bank.She is hurled into a vortex of deceit,betrayal & murder..

From the Author

The Perfect Financial Crime
"What is the most spectacular financial crime that could be committed?" This was a question that occurred to me in my previous job as a banker. After graduating from Oxford I worked in New York and then London, pursuing deals across Europe and coming into contact with high financiers, politicians and crooks. The scope for crime was immense. One day I sat down and tried to think like a criminal. How would I make a fortune? How could I bridge the gap between the City and the world at large off which it feeds? The result of these musings was Nest of Vipers, a novel in which I show the links between governments, central banks, and crime, and the role that the intelligence services now have in business and finance. The City is a perfect cover for spies.

Not long after Nest of Vipers appeared the subject of financial crime attracted international attention thanks to Nick Leeson and the downfall of Barings Bank. More recently dissaffected British agents have begun to reveal the links between the security services and the banks with allegations that MI6 had a mole in the Bundesbank and that the Russians were spying on banks in the City of London. All this makes Nest of Vipers even more topical now than when it first appeared.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book you won't be able to put down...until you finish it., 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
An excellent thriller, this is a book that everyone who works in the city will relate to in one way or another. It makes you want to keep reading just to know what is going to happen next. The author has the best background to portray the storyline with conviction and she makes it feel as if you are actually there. After reading this book I will be sure to read the others. A compelling read. Definitely a book worth taking on your holidays for a bit of escapism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, you won't regret it, 18 Nov 2003
Another great book from this author, if you are considering it I would personally recommend it. Linda gives an insight into the banking world - the murkier side without it becomming boring and then the action blows you away!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I EVER READ!!, 16 April 2002
By Imperial Topaz (Marrakesh, Morocco) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I read this book in a day, and I just couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the female heroine. In fact, I would have liked to BE her! I used to be a stockbroker in Denver, Colorado, and really enjoyed the female heroine, with all the vicarious thrills of her life!!! One of the best books I've ever read in my life.
