High rollers in the City of London are there for one purpose only - to make money.They can be clever, unscrupulous, corrupt and greedy,but without that single, driving ambition they cannot survive,let alone succeed.Bad enough for a man wanting to flourish in the nest of vipers; hell for a woman.
Sarah Jensen,one of the youngest and most highly paid foreign exchange traders in the City,knows all about survival. Her strange and tragic childhood has equipped her to deal with most situations; now her glamour provides the perfect camouflage in the lethally competitive environment in which she works.
When the Governor of the Bank of England and the Director of Counter-Narcotics Crime at MI6 decide to investigate corruption in a leading merchant bank,they identify Sarah Jensen as the ideal undercover agent,and they send her in to find out what she can.The trouble is that they don't reveal to her their own secret agenda,and they have no idea that Sarah - when the killings begin - is more than capable of taking fate - and the law into her own hands.
'Nest of Vipers' is an absolutely gripping thriller,a first novel set in a world of big money,big gambles,and massive, secret corruption,and in Sarah Jemsen,Linda Davies has created a truly great heroine for our times.
Author's debut novel.See also my book ID rja940921 for a UK,1st edn of her 2nd novel - 'Wilderness of Mirrors'.
