The two become friends when they are both enrolled at the same school in 1942. They survive anti-Semitic taunts together.

In a busy London corporate law firm, Cooper-Fozard, Stephen Bradley and his team work fast and furious to form mergers, takeovers and buyouts for a range of clients. But it's never as clear and clinical. When colleagues work hard, they often play hard too; and working closely sometimes brings people together after hours. Soon you develop a taste for a good deal, and you can sense a suspicious one at forty paces. And above all, though you don't have to like the people you work with, you learn that you do need to trust them.
