A former creative director at J. Walter Thompson in Manhattan, Howard Roughan lives in Connecticut with his wife and is currently working on his second novel.
'A Wall Street version of The Player. Beyond the sheer speed and undiluted excitement lies a cruel comedy of manners. Sleek entertainment and a malicious thriller.' Bret Easton Ellis
Handsome, hip and rich-by-marriage, Philip Randall has it all: a career at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, a wife whose father showers her with every luxury, a loft in Soho and a beautiful mistress. Never mind that Jessica is also the wife of his best friend Connor - and that they have been married for less than a year.
When an old acquaintance re-appears in his life with photographic proof of their affair, Philip is haunted by the threat of blackmail and exposure - yet refuses to accept that finally a situation has arisen that he is unable to turn to his advantage. Until that is, he finds himself at the centre of a murder investigation.
Is the Up and Comer finally to receive his comeuppance?
