About the books...

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind those huge bronze doors on Threadneedle Street, or ever wondered what sort of people work there and why, this is the story for you.

 It is 2002 and Sterling is under attack from dark Europhile forces, the UK economy is in peril and the honour and reputation of the Old Lady Threadneedle Street are at stake. Sebastian Oates, a Senior Economist at the Bank of England and the Governor’s favourite speech writer, inadvertently finds himself embroiled in a high-level political conspiracy to force the UK to adopt the Euro. As he tries to defeat Sterling’s enemies, his normally peaceful life spirals out of control. And they say economics is dull! Can he find out who was behind his friend’s mysterious death? Can the plucky Economist foil the Euro-loving conspirators? Can he save the Old Lady’s honour? Can he save his own? Will Villa continue to disappoint? And will Julia ever forgive him?”
