Sinossi
‘A Wall Street version of The Player. Beyond the sheer speed and undiluted excitement lies a cruel comedy of manners. Sleek entertainment and a malicious thriller.’ Bret Easton Ellis
Handsome, hip and rich-by-marriage, Philip Randall has it all: a career at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, a wife whose father showers her with every luxury, a loft in Soho and a beautiful mistress. Never mind that Jessica is also the wife of his best friend Connor – and that they have been married for less than a year.
When an old acquaintance re-appears in his life with photographic proof of their affair, Philip is haunted by the threat of blackmail and exposure – yet refuses to accept that finally a situation has arisen that he is unable to turn to his advantage. Until that is, he finds himself at the centre of a murder investigation.
Is the Up and Comer finally to receive his comeuppance?

'The Higher you rise the greater you fall'
Handsome, hip and rich-by-marriage, Philip Randall has everything: a career at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, a wife whose father showers her with every luxury, a loft in Soho and a beautiful mistress. But when an old acquaintance re-appears in his life with photographic proof of his affair, Philip is haunted by the threat of blackmail.
As Philip tries to keep on top of everything, his life begins to unravel and soon he finds himself at the centre of a murder investigation.
"A wonderful decline-and-fall story for our well-heeled times… Terrific."
DOUGLAS KENNEDY
"Elegant writing, fine dialogue and deft jokes…a hugely entertaining read."
