About

A thriller, based on a true story.

Treading where others are yet to go. The multi-billion pound property world.

This is a world I know, but to most what really goes on – the mechanisms, the drama -- remains a mystery. And why should it? Property is still seen as everyone’s main hedge against inflation. A home is not beyond the reach of many. We all spend our lives enclosed in a property of some kind.

Dick Francis demystified the equestrian world; John Grisham the law. I know about the workings of the property industry. I was steeped in it for 35 years.

This is not, however, a technical treatise. There are numerous books around relating to property dealings in isolation.

‘Win or Lose?’ is a novel, and it happens to be set in a hermetically sealed world. But at its heart are very human passions – greed, malice, fear, love and the loss of it. The promise of redemption.

It’s a story I want to share.
