    This highly topical and exciting drama by Steve Thompson was one of the most successful plays of 2009. Roaring Trade exposes just how far people go for the highest risk jobs in the City of London. McSorley's is the second largest bank in the square mile. Half the traders break the million pound barrier. Just how far are you prepared to go when you enter this world? Pressure is mounting on the bond traders’ floor. Millions can be lost or won. Jess is playing “FTSE ” with the clients; PJ's practising his poker face for bonus day — hoping it'll be Barbados, not Bruges; and superstar trader Donny is in danger of losing his crown to the new boy. Could they be headed for more than a financial crisis? (96 pages)
