Billionaire

Gambling with other people's money doesn't satisfy sharp young metal broker Alex Rocq any more. He wants to join the game himself - and he means to win.

But he's playing with fire on the international money market and he gets his fingers very badly burned. The only way to salve the situation is dangerous and desperate.

Alex Rocq decides to take the chance. He'll bend the rules, he'll cheat, he'll do anything required - and he'll keep it a secret. If it pays enough. He might reach rock bottom, but he won't stop until he's a billionaire.

Permanently out of print at author's request

Why? I wrote Dead Letter Drop, Atom Bomb Angel and Billionaire in the early 1980s, after reading a newspaper article which said there was a shortage of spy thrillers! I was amazed that my first attempt, Dead Letter Drop got published,an I was even more amazed that it did not do well! It was published in hardback in the UK by W H Allen and in paperback by Star (now part of Virgin Books). My subsequent spy thriller, Atom Bomb Angel, fared no better, and nor did my financial thriller, Billionaire. Although they got some nice reviews, as they saying goes, they rose without trace. And sank without trace, too...

Writing them was a good learning experience, but I feel that my writing has improved a lot since then and that readers who have enjoyed my work since Possession onwards would be disappointed if they read these earlier ones. So I have withdrawn them, and keep them permanently out of print.
