CITYBOY IS BACK WITH A NEW NOVEL: JUST BUSINESS

      If Vince Cable didn’t have to kiss David Cameron’s backside before opening his mouth, perhaps he would have Geraint Anderson write his speeches. Geraint has lost none of his energetic prose which made his debut novel Cityboy a cutting edge classic. Three pages in, the (justified) hero of banker bashing describes Goldman Sachs employees as “ the most vicious, repugnant ****suckers the world has ever seen”. If self-awareness is a requirement for leadership, Lloyd Blankfein has to agree this is a diplomatic understatement.

            Just Business is a sequel to Geraint’s debut. Narrated by Steve Jones, this gripping thriller brilliantly portrays his attempt to escape a complex crime trail brought on by a desperate attempt to leave behind the rat race of City life.

            This novel will be a surprise to many who thought Anderson was a one hit wonder. It reveals his ability to set intricate, suspenseful plots and create appealing characters. Upon reading this one discovers there is a bit of Steve Jones within all of us: a mysterious perpetual desire to escape the rituals of daily life. This novel forces the thinking reader to ask: is such a thing possible and are the results as desirous as we think?

  1. Read it myself from an early copy. I think it's even better than Cityboy - an absolute cracker! Finished it in 3 days ... and I don't usually read. Will take it on Summer hols to read it again. Can't wait for the next one. Tony
