This is a book that makes you wonder just how close to the truth it is. We have all heard the stories of bank misselling to customers, of cartels fixing interest rates and so on. We all suspect that the bankers were more interested in lining their own pockets and gaining even higher bonuses than they were in looking after clients, the industry or often even their own colleagues. In other words a dog eat dog world of high finance. This story describes how at least one employee has had enough and how he is set on revealing the truth, even if it brings the bank to its knees. The Whistleblower is ready to take revenge. ( )
