This is John Harman's first book and absolutely unput-downable. It's an intelligent adventure thriller about five men, all Establishment figures and at the top of their professions who set out to make themselves a fortune - illegally. Within a year, they are multi-millionaires. They also cause a revolution in one of Her Majesty's protectorates, the bankruptcy of a major company and the imprisonment of an innocent man. They are also accessories to murder... No one ever connects them to these events and no one misses the money. It is the perfect crime. Until, more than twenty years later, a beautiful girl tells Jerry Pilgrim the whole incredible story. For Jerry, the knowledge of a secret that could destroy some of the country's most powerful men is just too tempting, so he sets out to commit his own audacious crime. But someone else knows the secret too. For, wherever Jerry goes, death goes before. You see, everybody wants... money for nothing. John's other books published by Headline - The Bottom Line, Called to Account and Dangerous Assets have all done very well. He has other books waiting to be published... so if you know of an editor/publisher who would like to read a few chapters of his latest manuscript please contact John at [...] and he will put you onto his literary agent.
