Modern Collins (9) : A Necessary Dealing

A Necessary Dealing by Roy Lewis is part of the Eric Ward series of novels set in the world of finance and corporate business. A tale of corporate politics, takeovers and... murder, though this does not occur to quite late into the story.

The plot is good, fitting together very well though it is slow to get going (and heavy going though those more familiar with higher business concepts may find it easier) and sometimes can be a little dull. 

Ultimately, the story is intelligent and rewarding to those with patience.
