Cityboy is a brilliantly gritty account of life in London's financial heartland - The Square Mile. Author Geraint Anderson breaks the city's code of silence to uncover its dark and sorded secrets. With insider trading, drug taking, gambling and recklessness abound it is a wonder that any trading gets done. However, Geraint is proof that the dog-eat-dog culture of looking out for number one does yield results - he retired at only 35 years old after amassing a fortune. The book, which was originally an anonymous column in a city newspaper looks set to go to film in the near future after causing a major stir in the UK's financial heartland.

 A great read for anyone who has ever wondered what happens to those superannuation dollars, just be prepared for some colourful language and graphic story lines. The book was reviewed on radio 2GB and will be available to download as a podcast by clicking through here.

You can also find more information on the book on Geraint's website  or why not watch the interview below aired on the UK lifestyle show "This Morning"
