City on Fire

Journalist Ewen Langtree’s random viewing of a family photograph sets off a chain of events that uncover a conspiracy not only involving the Australian superannuation industry but the entire Asian financial system as well.

Set in the aftermath of a second global financial crisis, in Perth, a city sweltering within a heatwave, Ewen’s search for the truth plunges him towards imprisonment and financial ruin. Desperate to fend off both, his salvation rests on finding the answer to one question—is Francis Hogmyre, Australia’s richest stock trader, just another cog within the global financial machine, or does he belong to a New World Order?

A story based on friendship and fear, City on Fire starts as a slow-burning conspiracy theory that heats up halfway through and races towards a believable surprise ending.
