Set mainly in the City of London, Hillgate's second novel drags us into a Grisham-like world of corruption and greed where anything can be achieved via the payment of cold hard cash. Hillgate's protagonist, Jonathan Berrie, is a mild-mannered, run-of-the-mill criminal barrister desperately trying to assuage his wife's yearning for her old banking job at the monolithian US investment house Silverman Bach. With her old boss, Master of the Universe Chas Mullion, literally rubbing his money in Jonathan's face, it's only a matter of time before Jonathan begins to crack. Jonathan's dream is to live in a house in the South of France with a happy and contented family. The reality is that he represents the detritus of society in his day-job and earns less than his clerk, who, Jonathan laments, hasn't even been to university. A new case takes him down a new road involving more money than he could ever imagine and more danger than he could ever want. Jonathan's new dilemma is how much is going to be enough? Jack Hillgate's first novel, The Jew with the Iron Cross, is a UK bestseller.
