Michael Ridpath
Works of: Fiction
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.
