Sinopsis
Greed, Power, Revenge, or is it Economic Terrorism? Tom is an accomplished journalist and lead features writer at Global Weekly’s London office. He’s an unhappily married workaholic seeking to advance his career. Sally is single, ambitious and independent. Visiting from Australia, she’s chasing the same story. Each is eager to research alleged wrongdoings at Royal National Bank, exposed by a series of whistleblower revelations. RNB is one of the largest and strongest financial institutions in the world, or it was. There have been several incidents within a period of weeks. The effect has rocked the bank to its core, causing its share price to tumble and world stock markets to ripple. International economic stability is at risk. Both Tom and Sally suspect something or someone must be behind it. It couldn’t just be coincidence. They think it inconceivable for such rapid decline to result from merely incompetence and a series of blunders. It must be sabotage. Yet the timing and diversity of location make it improbable. Has someone been powerful and ingenious enough to mastermind such demise? If so who, and why? Tom and Sally become reluctantly twinned in the investigation looking for the ‘source’ and their trail leads them from London to Glasgow, Manchester, Barcelona and Collioure. They tread a dangerous path as Tom’s life and wellbeing becomes imperilled by strange and cryptic warnings. Through this, Tom struggles to hold everything together. He’s hoping to restore his crumbling marriage and uncertain personal finances, yet is distracted by an irresistible attraction to Sally. They feel daunted by the prospect of an unknown enemy, who seems to have unlimited power and connections. With great fortitude, they tackle the most challenging investigation of their lives, facing threats and hostility countering their every move.

Acerca del autor
Having the background of a successful career in commerce and finance, Zach Abrams has spent many years writing reports, letters and presentations and it’s only fairly recently he started writing novels. “It’s a more honourable type of fiction,” he declares, adding ‘Besides, the readers of my books tend to be far more tolerant to my use of metaphor and hyperbole than Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Revenue & Customs ever were”. His first novel 'Ring Fenced' was published in November 2011 and this is a crime story with a difference as the underlying theme is obsession tinged with power, control and how they are used and abused. This novel was followed by a collaboration with Elly Grant to produce 'Twists and Turns' a book of short stories and flash fiction. Zach’s second novel 'Made a Killing' was the first of a series of Alex Warren murder mysteries (published in November 2012) and this has been followed by 'A Measure of Trouble' (August 2013). Zach is currently working on a novel based on investigative jounalism. Alike his central character in 'Ring Fenced,' (Bemjamin Short), Zach Abrams grew up within an orthodox Jewish family. He completed his education in Scotland and went on to a career in business and finance. He is married with two children. He plays no instruments and has an eclectic taste in music, although not as obsessive as Benjamin. Unlike Benjamin, he does not maintain mistresses, write pornography and (sadly) he does not have ownership of such a wealthy company. He is not a sociopath (at least by his own reckoning) and all versions of his life are aware of and freely communicate with each other. More in keeping with Alex Warren, he and his family reside in the south side of Glasgow.
