Description
1973: the year of the oil crisis, the secondary banking collapse, the three day working week and the collapse of the stock market.
In a riotous ride through the City of London we meet the characters and events that filled the social and City pages of the press in that roller-coaster year.
Guy Magnus, an ambitious young share dealer, makes a daring takeover bid in the face of opposition from the City Establishment.
Will he follow their rules, or his own: never to fall in love with a deal?
Will he come to repent his challenge to the powers-that-be?
Is Guy's story fiction or fact? Was a Norfolk Broads canal boat really moored in the marina of Monte Carlo?
Did a Henry Moore sculpture really become the most expensive work of art in the world? And did a bet for a lunch at Maxim's for the first to make a million, Guy or his friend and rival Harry Griffin, bring a merchant bank to the verge of collapse?
THE SHELL COLLECTOR tells a cautionary tale of the City when its buccaneering spirit was at a peak.
Whether true or false, it is never less than entertaining.
