    About this ebook

    Clement Davies, the trouble-shooter in the Imperial Bank is found dead and John Rigby is appointed in his place. Despite the promotion and extra salary, he doesn’t want the job and makes a deal to do it for only three months.
    However, on the very first day he has to deal with a number of difficult problems, not least a man with a bomb in a holdall in the Manager’s office of the bank demanding the contents of the safe, a demonstration of hundreds of people outside the front of the bank, a computer fraud, and Sam Elliott, the most scheming executive in the bank who wants the job as the trouble-shooter.
    Rigby is being stalked by his wife, who refuses to give him a divorce and she wants him back after leaving him, but he has made a new life for himself with a much younger mistress who is bearing his child.
    John Rigby is used to the high tension and stress but dead bodies and death threats are not normal, not even in an Imperial Bank.
    The wonderful characters, including the contentious head of police, bring the book alive with drama and farce.
    “A great new read from this prolific and contentious author!” - Claire Ashton
