"Everyone underestimates them. They come from nowhere; worse than nowhere. They come from the dreary semi-detached suburbs of post-war England, and they invade the glamorous world of global power and old money: Lloyd's of London." "Bad Boy follows the careers of Michael and Mac, childhood friends who elbow their way into the elitist club while it is still run by people who call themselves gentlemen. But Michael and Mac play different games, with rules that they make up as they go along. And they are dangerously good at it." "The seeds of the disaster that was to befall the Lloyd's market were sown with an obscene absence of trust, with lies and false accounting, greed and treachery, drugs and sexual deceit. The plot is filled with whispers, rumours and false promises as the players struggle to stay ahead of the game by outwitting both enemies and friends." "Bad Boy reveals the truth behind the sparkling financial success stories, and the dramatic horror stories of those who do not survive the roller-coaster rides of boom and bust."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
