Free to Trade: a gripping financial thriller

Free to Trade: a gripping financial thriller

It was a deal to die for. And somebody will.

Paul Murray is an ex-Olympic runner, so his training is perfect for the rigours of multi-million dollar bond trading in the City of London. The pace is breakneck, the smell of success intoxicating.

Then the body of his colleague Debbie is fished out of the Thames and Paulâ€™s world is turned upside down.

He begins a dangerous, chaotic tumble into the darker side of trading. From the glass towers of London to the frenzied deals of Wall Street and the murky back rooms of Las Vegas glitz, Paul has got to find answers fast before someone else makes a killing.

Free To Trade was Michael Ridpathâ€™s first financial thriller. It was translated into 33 languages and stayed at No 2 in the British bestseller lists for three months.

Ridpath was prescient: the novel features â€œUncle Samâ€™s Money Machineâ€, an early version of a CDO, or Collateralised Debt Obligation, the financial instrument that was later to blow up the international banking system.

I had lost half a million dollars in slightly less than half an hour and the coffee machine didnâ€™t work. This was turning into a bad day. Half a million dollars is a lot of money. And I needed a cup of coffee badly.
