This Bleeding City

The shattering novel of one man swept away in the turmoil of emotional, financial and moral boom and bust. Charlie Wales is a young man who wants everything. He's seduced by the excitement of a new life in London and all that it promises: love, art, and also the promise of fast money in the City. It is a heartbreaking love story, a withering study of the years of excess, and a timely reminder of how good people end up doing terrible things.
