Description:
High-flying
executive Caroline and barrister Robert have been married for three years, and
the demands of work have left little time for their relationship. Caroline is
angling for a promotion, which will mean spending more time away in Germany .
On a management development course in Spain , Caroline is tempted into
indiscretions with some of her colleagues, a fact that is noticed by course
leader and former chief executive Melody Bigger.
Melody
sees in Caroline aspects of her younger self and a barely suppressed
exhibitionism. She draws Caroline into a plot to put pressure on Von
Wolfswinkle, the German delegate to the European Central Bank. His opposition
to Eurobonds is causing hardship across southern Europe ,
and Caroline is inveigled into a peculiar relationship with Von Wolfswinkle
based on his voyeurism and her exhibitionism. Melody wants Caroline to
influence the banker’s recommendations to the forthcoming European economic
summit.
As
Caroline is drawn into a seedy world of private parties for bankers and
politicians, she soon realises she has damaged her reputation and her marriage.
How will she ever be able to face her colleagues and her husband again?

About the Author:
I
am mid-thirties, a lawyer, and married (still). Writing is more than a hobby;
it’s what keeps me sane because most of my job is boring. I think it must be
like being in the army. There are very long periods where nothing happens then
suddenly all hell is let loose.
I’ve
had a book to do with work published before, and have written columns and
features for magazines but my first novel Shameless
Ambition was much more fun to write. I can’t really claim credit for the
idea. Life provided me with Caroline, my wife. The banking crisis provided the
plot. All I had to do was write it down and use my imagination for the parts
where Caroline refused to go into details.
Caroline
is my inspiration. I hope that doesn’t sound too mushy. I’m keeping my fingers
crossed that she continues to refuse to read the book. The other characters…
let’s say that names have been changed to avoid embarrassment or more work for
the legal profession. It was never meant
to be published but then someone who had agreed to keep it confidential;
didn’t. So it had to be.
