K C Doone was a Wall Street trader and confirmed coward simply trying to get through life. That is, until the day life hit back. Within twenty-four hours, he'd lost his job, had found his third wife in bed with her personal trainer, had discovered his bank accounts were empty, had come home to a totally empty apartment, had learned that his ageing mother was about to get thrown out of her apartment, and had found out, the hard way, that sometimes even a confirmed coward simply has to fight back. It took some goulash dinner to teach him how to day-trade; an unforgettable cast of misfits in his corner to give him the courage to don his suit of armour; a Grand Tour of Europe to seek out the elusive Sir Tommy d'Aquin Whitestone, one of the richest men on earth; a mis-dialled phone number and a mysterious woman on the other end to keep him going; and a faulty lift in London to change him forever. With warmth, humour and his eye for life's absurdities, Jeffrey Robinson turns a day trader's adventures in the real world into the 'feel good' novel of the year.
