About the Novel
The Big Bet
It’s about a nice guy called Steven, who is a failed racing driver and an incompetent corporate executive. He gets involved with three famous families in the world of cars, motorsport, fashion and cosmetics.
Over the years the families’ lives intertwine as they battle for fame and success. When Steven enters their universe, he not only has to deal with the ruthless corporate world that he doesn’t understand, but he also has to contend with his boss’s daughter and an overly ambitious work colleague.
The book follows the battle for the “Big Bet”, a corporate initiative that will make or break careers and fortunes. As the characters battle away, history catches up with some, alliances are shattered, family bonds are tested and uncomfortable truths are exposed.
The question is whether Steven can survive and remain a nice guy, or will he get sucked into the dirty dealing of the corporate world?
It’s sort of Dynasty meets Ocean’s 11, updated for 2024.
