Banking On Reddy: A Craig Reddy Investigation

March 2009 and the banking crisis has already struck the UK. The government has nationalised some large insolvent banks, dumping their debt onto the taxpayers. Yet the narrative in the mainstream media is sycophantically upbeat.

Into this brave new world of profligate indebtedness steps Craig Reddy, investigative journalist at London’s Daily Courier. Undeterred by his suspension from work, Reddy pursues the truth about the Ipswich & Blackwater, a major bank headquartered in his home town, for which he has evidence of being close to insolvency.

When the bank’s CEO mysteriously commits suicide, D.I. Pauline Wright of Ipswich police is tasked with investigating his death. Her and Reddy’s investigations converge onto the same path: the complex truths of the lives and deaths of those exploiting the bank for their own ends
