The Merc is capitalism’s rottweiller, .&nbsp; . the motto is kill or be killed . . By Lynn’s telling each trading session resembles a boisterous night out – with routine punch-ups, awful language, gambling and illicit sex."<br> <br> <i>—The Daily Telegraph</i></p> <p>"funny, fast-paced...a thrill-ride...exhilarating and addictive...like reliving those experiences"<br> <br> —&nbsp;<i>Elle</i> readers</p> <p>"A sexy, adrenalized, very cool book that is a lesson as well as a pleasure"<br>
