Overview

Charles lives in the testosterone-driven, high-powered, brutal world of investment banking. Charles is a master of this dog-eat-dog world dominated by deals, bonuses, bravado and savagery. Each day he shrugs on a metaphorical suit of armour and goes out to accumulate power and make money. He's a man who is familiar with casual brutality - his childhood saw to that. But there is a price to pay. Now, at the peak of his career, his armour is rusted and bloodstained and no longer protecting him the way it once did. He finds himself empty. Always cold. No friends. A family that is falling apart. Over the course of two days, everything in Charles's life comes into question. His carefully constructed world is starting to splinter - and he's splintering too. Shocking, tense, powerful and ultimately immensely moving, Man in Armour is a fascinating and wholly compelling story of a man at the end of his tether, with a sharp-eyed, incisive focus that also carries real emotional - and moral - resonance. Written by an ultimate business insider - a woman who knows the world of power, money and deal-making intimately - this story carries an undeniable authenticity and force.
