Selection: Who chooses? The hunter or the hunted?

A rocky cliff face, the tragic death
of his father, a spell in a harsh young offenders' institution and a promising military
career cut short all leave Seb Faber vulnerable and without direction.

His prospects looked bleak. Then an
unexpected and lucrative job offer in the City seems to point to more secure future.
Despite his reservations, Seb turns out to be a natural on the equities trading
floor of Blounts - the City's oldest and most respected finance house. This
success leads to his selection for a special project.

To add to his change of fortune, Seb
falls explosively in love with the beautiful and passionate Sophia.

However, his personal antennae are
picking up anomalies. Perhaps, not everything is quite what it seems. Why does a
cheating client blatantly try to bribe him during a game of golf? Will the Hoodia
gordonii plant really deliver the wonder appetite suppressant qualities being
promised to investors? Why does his boss's wife try to seduce him?

As his suspicions rise Seb is
increasingly uncertain who he can trust.

Then his world is turned upside
down. Torn in all directions, Seb fights through the mists of despair to
regain his self-control and sense of purpose as he perseveres to uncover what
exactly is happening around him.

Seb's final steps lead to dramatic and
totally unexpected events in the South African bush.

H.C. Kingsmill Moore's debut novel
is written with ingenuity and pace by a City insider... And in Sebastian Faber
he's created a character that readers will want to follow in future books.
