If love and passion can prove so brittle against greed and ambition, what hope for truth and integrity?
Overwrought and tormented by a career-threatening investigation progressing in London, investment banker, Marcus Flint, seeks solace at a remote Swiss hotel – there is much more at stake – if sinister episodes from his past in Singapore become exposed, they will destroy not just his career but rip apart his family and his life.
Blind to the real reasons for his absence, his wife, Emma, is confused but keen to help, not least because Marcus rescued her from her own traumas years ago. As the London review threatens to turn global, disaster looms. Marcus feels compelled to write to Emma, to explain his actions – the ripple effects of greed, ambition and deceit cascading out of control, ultimately confessing to what he has done – his ‘darkest trade’. It’s a letter he hopes he never has to send.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Wow! I was totally drawn in to the world of international finance and the twists and turns of the plot. Loved the descriptions of the beautiful settings. Can context ever justify dubious ethics? The tension and pace built to an explosive crescendo for the final shocking denouement
the first few pages set the plot and were slightly complicated but then suddenly it all came together - intriguing, mystifying, unpredictable and a genuine page turner and brilliant read - the author is a natural - would highly recommend this - gives you an insight into the corporate world making you realise the grass is not always greener on the other side - buy it and read it and enjoy it as I have done !
It's been a while since I read such a captivating debut novel. Dark Pools is a love story, a thriller and a case study of human manipulation all rolled into one. The story unfolds with layers of deceit, dark family secrets and unexpected betrayals. I couldn't put it down until the end. Exceptional.
If you liked BBCs "Industry" drama then you will love this even more. The author paints a dark and realistic picture of the cut-throat world of investment banking and then takes the reader off into a much darker storyline that completely delivers. Thoroughly recommended
The book will keep you wanting to open the next page until you finish it, regardless of whether you are interested in its topic of discussion. The level of detail included whilst also maintaining its degree of comprehensibility is excellent, and so I would definitely recommend all levels of avid readers to try this book!
