Saints and sinners the first book in "the Rake's Progress" Trilogy is an intoxicating, high-octane romp through the glittering worlds of high society, international finance, and steamy romance - perfect for fans of Jilly Cooper's "Rutshire Chronicles" and William Boyd's "Any Human Heart."
Meet Jack Drummond: devastatingly handsome, wickedly charming, and hiding dark secrets beneath his polished exterior. From the dangerous heat of 1960s Saigon to the polo fields of England's most exclusive clubs, Jack blazes a trail of broken hearts and shattered conventions across continents.
Like Cooper's iconic Rupert Campbell-Black, Jack is the quintessential bad boy you can't help but love - a man who plays as hard as he works. But where Cooper's heroes are purely British country aristocrats, Jack is a more dangerous, international creature. He's equally at home drinking vodka with Russian oligarchs in Moscow nightclubs as he is thundering across African plains on horseback or closing million-dollar deals in Manhattan.
The novel sizzles with illicit affairs, pulse-pounding adventure, and eye-watering wealth. There's the wild years in America with Mexican heiresses and Kennedy connections, the adrenaline-fueled polo matches with Kerry Packer's elite teams, and the notorious basement flat in Notting Hill that becomes legendary in certain circles. All this while Jack builds a digital empire and navigates the treacherous waters of London high society.
Don't miss the novel everyone will be talking about this season - "A Rake's Progress" is destined to become the next great British blockbuster!
