Opis

"Hello, is that Jonathan Rendall?"

"Speaking."

"My name's Rachel Cugnoni. I'm calling from Yellow Jersey Press and I have a proposal for you. I'm looking for someone to give 12,000 to but the catch is they have to spend it all on gambling--horses, the dogs, casinos, boxing, golf, soccer, that sort of thing--and then write a book about it. Any profits made are entirely that person's but if they lose it all I still want my book. It's high risk but without wanting to assume too much, I've heard a bit about you and somehow I thought it may appeal. Think about it--you'd have the opportunity to lay some serious bets offering serious returns, you could play hard ball in poker games for once, even go to Vegas and, as I said, those winnings are yours to blow in whatever way you wish."

"When do I start?"
