Member book release

Savile Row Jack 

Club Member, Stuart Binnie’s latest novel.

Though a former gangster, Jack Flowers likes to be seen as a respectable businessman, even if his ambitions often subvert his intentions. When an irresistible opportunity presents itself,  his actions betray his family and jeopardise his business empire, forcing him to return to the ways of the past.   

Reluctant to pay taxes,  Jack uses his son Teddy’s loss-making business to launder his profits. His success encourages him to offer the service to third parties, but when the company’s finance director disappears in mysterious circumstances, and the company’s acquisition looms, he is forced to take steps to protect his interests. 

He employs Charlie, his daughter, after she loses her City job. Determined to make her presence felt, Charlie interferes at every opportunity, in spite of Jack’s efforts to thwart her. Unaware of the true nature of her father’s activities, and knowing little about his associates, Charlie promises her brother that she will save his company. 

When Jack’s initial efforts to protect the company fail, he is forced to take extreme measures. He hatches and implements an elaborate plot against its acquirer, but it is Charlie who saves her brother’s business and rescues her family’s fortune, employing means markedly different from her father’s. 

Savile Row Jack can be purchased as an Amazon paperback or a Kindle download. ISBN: 9781704568102
