TRUE STORIES OF INTRIGUE, ESPIONAGE, FRAUD, CORRUPTION AND CONSPIRACY FROM OVER 50 YEARS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND FINANCE
Edwards is Christopher Spencer's alter-ego who travels the world experiencing exactly what he has experienced. From Athens to Casablanca, from Cairo to Kuala Lumpur, Edwards finds Fraud and Corruption. Off the Cote d'Azur, he is entertained on board a luxury yacht and in Washington he meets with some senior American spies. In Britain, he finds Injustice and seeming Conspiracies covering up the solutions to three high-profile murders. In between, he experiences life behind the Iron Curtain, dines with Prime Ministers, keeps some Russian visitors under surveillance in Scotland and tries to stop vital British high-technology being given to the Chinese!
This further collection of varied, extraordinary short stories also include some more personal details from the life of Edwards and his musings on the current state of the world. These stories would be outstanding if they were actually Fiction.
But, in fact, what is amazing is that they are all absolutely True!
