Shredded book jacket Swimming with Sharks jacketTwo writers come together to explore the shady world of city finance.

In Shredded, Ian Fraser examines the lasting legacy of the 2008 collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland – the reasons behind its failure, how Gordon Brown’s government bet the UK’s future on rescuing it and how, after successive post-crisis CEOs failed to reform its rotten culture, taxpayers are unlikely ever to get their money back.

Joining Fraser is Joris Luyendijk, a journalist who saw bankers as ruthless, bonus-obsessed sharks, until he was assigned to investigate the financial sector for The Guardian. His book, Swimming with Sharks: My Journey into the World of the Bankers, was the result of interviews with over two hundred City insiders, and led him to a startling realisation – what if the bankers aren’t the real enemy? What if something far more sinister is at play…?
