Martin Baker - Meltdown

CONDITION - VERY GOOD

Samuel Spendlove, one of the brightest young academics at Oxford, has given everything up to work undercover for William Barton, owner of a massive media empire. His reasons are complicated, but hes finding he gets a thrill out of working for Khan, the legendary market trader working out of the Paris office of Ropners Bank, whose dealings have been known to bring nations to their knees. Barton wants information about Khan. He wants revenge over a man who has bested him once and Spendlove assumes he wants to ensure it is only the once. Spendlove enjoys both sides of this game, until it all unravels and he finds himself simultaneously accused of almost bringing down the global economy and of the murder of Kaz Day, a glamorous colleague on the trading floor. But who framed him and why?
