Product Review

Virtual reality is the technology of the future, and Mark Fairfax’s brother Richard runs the leading company in the field worldwide. He has also been murdered.

Mark is a City trader: sharp, young, ambitious. He is left to pick up the pieces at his brother’s company in Scotland’s “Silicon Glen”.

Struggling to keep the business in the black, and with corporate predators closing in, Mark must learn fast and trust no one.

With his brother’s killer on the loose, bankruptcy may prove to be the least of his problems.

This is the second of Michael Ridpath’s bestselling financial thrillers, which have been published in over 30 countries. The author invested in a world-leading British virtual reality company while working for a venture-capital firm in London.
