Prepare yourself for a helta-skelta ride around the City of London. Experience what media tycoon and fraudster Robert Maxwell was really like, up close. Imagine having dinner with controversial Conservative Member of Parliament Nadine Dorries, become enraged by the secret filming of Diana, Princess of Wales, puzzle at the appearance of Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith at Woburn Abbey and wonder why Ghislaine Maxwell hoped to meet the author at a party. 'Square Mile Tales' is the autobiography of a man who spent over forty years in banking and corporate finance, was awarded the coveted Fellowship of the (Chartered) Institute of Bankers, who wrote the text book on Finance House, who co-founded ProShare Investment Clubs and brought share ownership into the lives of many and who explained it all in his best-selling book on the subject. Tremble with fear as the author was arrested by Chinese guards at the Hong Kong/Shenzhen border, as he was rushed to hospital in Beijing into the care of Dr Wang and how he became chairman of a Japanese media company to conclude an eventful career. But 'Square Mile Tales' is much, much more as the author recalls his fifty-four years of marriage and the economic, political and social background, to the events dominating his years in the City of London.

Can three people overcome daunting odds to find the relationship they want despite encountering questions as to the father of a daughter, a murderer, a Russian spy and illegal migrants? Damian and Cathy Hannon have been married for twenty-three years when along comes Marie, a dental nurse, who causes volcanic emotions. They face challenging work situations, the consequences of a paternity issue, an assassin, MI5's search for a traitor and violence on a fishing vessel in the English Channel. It's inevitable that two of the three will overcome the odds facing them and fight for their future together except that the third member of the triumvirate has no intention of rolling over.

Can ex-DCI Sarah Rudd rescue an orphaned child from the Bab al-Salameh refugee camp on the Turkey/Syria border while being pursued by an IRA hitman? The former highly decorated detective is now working for a security company in London and has uncovered the truth about a paedophile banker who enriches the political elite from his duplicitous activities. The fraudster reacts by putting out a contract on Sarah's life. He, in turn, is being sought by Sarah's partner, ex-DCI 'Mad Max' Hemmings, who resorts to unimaginable retribution in the caves off the Greek Coast. Isobel, the distraught wife of the disgraced banker, faces impossible odds when trying to negotiate the return of her brutalised husband until she realises that she can unlock the riches her husband owes to his partners. While ex-DCI Sarah Rudd tries to save the Lebanese orphan, Isobel plays her trump card.
