Mike Harrison

Mike Harrison is a Cambridge law graduate who spent thirty years at the heart of global financial markets. As he puts it: ‘I have seen the beast.’ ’That toxic nexus where power and money warp the best of intentions and fan the worst of them.’ His work has taken him around the world, from the harsh splendour of Manhattan to the stately squares of Moscow; from Frankfurt’s solemn boardrooms to the stinging heat of Singapore’s streets. His writing incorporates what he knows, lending authenticity and credibility to his work. He brings in-depth research and experience to his characters and scenes, winning wide praise from those in the ‘great game’ for real. His book Operation Pale Tiger is being made into a film by Lock Stock
and Two Smoking Barrels producer Gareth Jones – and The Lazarus Trade.
