In the dotcom boom it was easy to make millions … and then lose them. And some people are not good losers.

The year is 1999 and Internet companies are springing up everywhere. Anything seems possible for those who think big.

David Lane – a quiet, cautious banker – is invited by his old friend Guy Jourdan to help start up ninetyminutes.com. He decides that for once he will do something daring, something dangerous.

If only he’d realized quite how dangerous. Guy falls out with Tony Jourdan, his father and their biggest investor, bringing the company close to collapse. Then Tony is murdered – and David's roller-coaster ride in to danger and disaster begins.

Michael Ridpath has written eight bestselling financial thrillers, published in over 30 countries.

A financial thriller is exactly what it is!

Well worth more than 5 stars as this is a full on thriller. An interesting read that keeps you hooked and the financial side easy to follow.
A group of friends start up a dotcom company and we follow the rise and problems that are incurred. Plenty of back story to exp!ain the action as it unfurls. Love, deceit and death all play a part along the way with plenty of twists and turns.
Just a brilliant read!

An interesting and enjoyable tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2020

Verified Purchase

This is good holiday reading, well told and with good development of the background. The only problem is that the hero, a supposed qualified accountant, did not behave in a credible manner, and the villains were, for the most part readily identified.
Reasonable diversion while locked down.

Dot Com......rollercoaster

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2020

The brave new world of the internet as it grows and the dot com rise and fall. The rise more rapid and heady than ever before known; and the fall like no other. Factor in youth, sex and infidelity, the suspicions of guilt and harrowing murders......now that's a story.

Dual story lines

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2016

This book has two themes running throughout. 1) will the .com startup make it to the Market and be a success 2) a traditional who dunnit ?
I was 40% through the book before I realised I was not just reading about the Internet StartUp Company. The bodies seemed to pile up without me noticing. The technical detail, financial and both internet and Company structures, contained in the book is eye opening, as has been the case in other Ridpath books. The who dunnit bit is a little tame. A jolly good read overall.

It took me ages to figure out!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2017

I can't believe how long it took me to work out. The story starts off slowly and there's a lot of flashing back and forward but it gears up fairly quickly. I read the last third in one sitting so I did rather enjoy it. It was also a nostalgic read, given that it's set round Clerkenwell in the dotcom boom.

What a good book! Real edge of seat stuff. All the action stems from the internet boom.. Many new companies were set up in this dot.com time. However some were destined to fall by the wayside. Will that happen here? You have to read it to find the answer.

Of course, there is lots more to the plot than just computer business. Murder and deceit among other things.

You will want to keep turning the pages.

Venture into the world of dot.coms

My second Michael Ridpath book, and every bit as enjoyable as the first. Meticulously researched and plotted, great characters, expertly written. It matters not that I understand but little of the world of finance - Michael makes it easy for us woodentops to follow the plot without our heads exploding. Highly recommended.
