On the Edge: a gripping financial thriller

On the Edge: a gripping financial thriller

Jean-Luc Martel wants to become the greatest hedge fund manager of his generation and â€œThe Man Who Broke the Euroâ€.

From his past as an RAF fighter pilot to his job as a bond trader in the City, Alex Calder is a man known for taking big risks â€“ and winning.

When colleague Jennifer Tan decides to pursue a sexual harassment case against her boss, Calder witnesses the ugly side of his world. And the tragic. For Jen commits suicide and Calder quits in disgust.

One year on, Calder is running a flying school in Norfolk. But the past wonâ€™t disappear.

When a former colleague of Jen's vanishes while visiting Jean-Luc Martel in his mountain paradise in Wyoming, Calder sees the tragic events of twelve months earlier in even more sinister and terrifying light.

Itâ€™s time for him to risk reputation, livelihood and even his life to see that justice is done.

See No Evil, written in 2005, anticipates the break up of the euro at the hands of inflexible monetary policy and aggressive speculators. This is the first of Ridpathâ€™s financial thrillers to feature Alex Calder.
