A rocky cliff face, the tragic death of his father, a spell in a harsh young offenders’ institution and a promising military career cut short all leave Seb Faber vulnerable and without direction.
His prospects looked bleak. Then an unexpected and lucrative job offer in the City seems to point to more secure future. Despite his reservations, Seb turns out to be a natural on the equities trading floor of Blounts – the City’s oldest and most respected finance house. This success leads to his selection for a special project.
To add to his change of fortune, Seb falls explosively in love with the beautiful and passionate Sophia.
However, his personal antennae are picking up anomalies. Perhaps, not everything is quite what it seems. Why does a cheating client blatantly try to bribe him during a game of golf? Will the Hoodia gordonii plant really deliver the wonder appetite suppressant qualities being promised to investors? Why does his boss’s wife try to seduce him?
As his suspicions rise Seb is increasingly uncertain who he can trust.
Then his world is turned upside down. Torn in all directions, Seb fights through the mists of despair to regain his self-control and sense of purpose as he perseveres to uncover what exactly is happening around him.
Seb’s final steps lead to dramatic and totally unexpected events in the South African bush.
H.C. Kingsmill Moore’s debut novel is written with ingenuity and pace by a City insider... And in Sebastian Faber he’s created a character that readers will want to follow in future books.

H.C. Kingsmill Moore has spent twenty-six years in corporate broking where he has acquired a wealth of inspiration for his debut novel, the City being a rich environment for drama that seldom needs embellishment. From a medical family, Hugh studied Biology at Durham University that led to many years specialising in biotechnology company financings, the inspiration for the story in Selection. He lives in Berkshire with Nina, his wife of twenty years, a preparatory school headmistress, his three teenage children, and two large messy dogs.
