Silent Money by [Harper, GD]

Silent Money GD Harper- crime
Michael works in a bank as an assistant branch manager. When his manager leaves he
applies for the post but sadly doesn’t get it. When the new incumbent arrives, a man
who is known to staff for not being the hardest worker, Michael assists him all he can-
with his own means to an end in sight. When this manager is replaced Michael thinks
about his own position, one he feels stuck in and that others appear to be getting
what they want but not him. He devises a plan to change things a little. With a little
research and a lot of wherewithal he starts his own business, making more money
than he ever dreamt of. This is set in the mid 1970’s and so there are typed bank
statements, no cctv and many things that we take for granted today. This doesn’t
detract at all in fact when reading this I had to check the dates due to the typing
aspect and then everything slotted in place beautifully. I liked Michael and his
determination and highly organised mind.A wonderful well researched plot
that kept me entertained and a smile along the way.
I look forward to the next instalment.

Silent Money Glasgow, 1972. Michael Mitchell is ambitious, talented and determined to succeed. But he
learns the hard way that he will never achieve his goals in life – unless he plays by a different
set of rules. He partners with a small-time crook to help the Glasgow underworld launder the proceeds
of their crimes. As the operation grows, Michael is forced to become more and more
ruthless to protect what he has built. Shocked by who he has become, he vows to leave the criminal world behind and start a
new life. But the past has a way of catching up. Finally, he gambles everything on one
last desperate attempt to break free. Purchase Links UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TQH59ZC/ US - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TQH59ZC/ Author Bio – I was placed third in the 2015 Lightship Prize for first-time authors, won a 2016 Wishing
