The venerable bank of Tubal & Co is in trouble. It's not the first time in its 300-year history, but this time will be the last. A sale is under way, and a number of rather important facts need to be kept hidden, especially from any potential buyer. Hundreds of millions of pounds are being diverted - temporarily - to shore it up, masterminded by the bank's chairman, Julian Trevelyan-Tubal. His aging father Sir Henry would be horrified, but fortunately he is in the early stages of dementia. His letters instruct his son to stick to the time-honoured traditions of the bank, and, indeed, had his son taken his advice the bank might still be solvent.
Great families have all sorts of secrets, though, and this one is no exception.

"Justin Cartwright writes fluidly and with a great command of the English language. This was a very enjoyable read, entertaining and keeping one's interest. My only criticism is that I felt he had to tie up everything in the last chapter, making it feel a bit rushed and hurried at the end. " — Moira (4 out of 5 stars)

" Not quite as substantial as his last two, but entertaining, educative and a page turner. "
" A totally engrossing, majorly entertaining book about, of all things, the financial crisis. Delightful to read. Both wry and also sympathetic towards human frailty. How come I'd never heard of Justin Cartwright before? "
