Alex Calder is an ex-RAF fighter pilot who switched to working for an investment bank after an accident. When a work colleague dies after filing a complaint against a former manager Alex quits in disgust at the way she was treated. However, he can't really accept that she had committed suicide and a year later when another former colleague dies he is determined to finally discover the truth.

This brings him to conflict with powerful, greedy men who's whole world revolves around money. The world he had walked away from.

This book is set in the world of hedge funds, derivatives, investment banks and deceitful people. Unfortunately, it's a bit drawn out with all the twists and turns. There are lots of red herrings and in the end there are still some unanswered questions. It's mostly enjoyable but the stupidity of some of the characters leaves me feeling a bit cold.
