The year is 2008. The setting: a glittering New York Gala Dinner. Pick up Julian’s true-to-life story during his Standard Chartered Bank ‘initiation’, where he walked into a world of “smoke and mirrors” served with a constant flow of Chocolate Martinis. Beneath a veneer of philanthropy, meet the manipulative characters, the faces of this world. Dive into the next installment of this exposé into high-stakes finance, where a new hire navigates a night of secrets and political turmoil, where partying never stopped and Wall Street burned.

The first in a series of explosive teasers from the forthcoming book, The Billion Dollar Briefcase, this instalment will take you back in time to experience Julian's adrenaline-fuelled life as a pilot, and the shocking moment he uncovered evidence detailing the funding of terrorist groups and the supply of weapons to conflict zones. Prepare for a real-life story of profound ethical collision, where a former serviceman who left 'the fight' is pulled back into a battle for truth, exposing the devastating link between global finance and global terror.
