High Flying City Boy Writes Second Bestseller

Author Andrew Iyer is a high profile and successful City lawyer, with a history of celebrity girlfriends. His previous book Domino Run, published by Cancer Research UK in 1995 as a fundraiser, was a bestseller, and won the David St John Thomas Award for Fiction. In his second book, The Betrayed, Iyer combines the seedy glamour of 60s London with the drama of a 90s law firm.

Eddie Doyle is out for revenge. Thirty years ago, as World Cup fever raged through 1960s London, he had masterminded a daring crime, the theft of a priceless painting.

Unfortunately it all went wrong, with his brother gunned down in the heat of the action. In the ensuing, violent shootout, Eddie brutally murdered two guards, a vicious crime for which he was locked away.

But he has a secret. He managed to hide the painting and secure it forover 25 years, in a place that no-one knew about...Or so he thought. Upon his release from prison, Eddie goes looking for the painting and another, innocent, unwitting man finds his family life threatened by violence.

Kidnap, murder, extortion, violence...and all because of a painting. The Betrayed is a compelling, gritty thriller from a writer whose first novel was a publishing phenomenon.

The Betrayed will be released on 26 September 2007, and is available for pre-order from Amazon.co.uk, priced £9.89.
