This fast moving financial thriller based around City dealing rooms, bars and clubs, takes you on a hunt for a serial rapist who attacks his prey in a London Taxi.

Purporting to be an account of Armour's lifelong love-hate affair with the game of golf, this is a marvellously pointed and hilarious testament to the ability of golf to humiliate its devotees and make them come back for more. Whether Armour is adjusting his stance to allow for a new-found curvature in his clubs, or finds the secret of the perfect swing in a long-billed cap, this book never fails to amuse and, perhaps too often, reflect something very close to the truth. Golfers everywhere will treasure it.
