Foolproof — Philip Daniels

Jeremy Newton is one of the brighter young men coming along in the City. In time, he will be a respected and prominent figure in London's financial world. But Jeremy is impatient. He has access to insider information on the stock market and knows how to exploit it to make himself a wealthy man while still young. All he needs is a partner to carry out the criminal side of the scheme while he establishes impeccable alibis.
Enter Charlie Hurst. A cool, resourceful thief with far more intelligence than the average hood, Hurst seems like the ideal choice, and he's quick to see the beauty of Jeremy's proposition. They devise a foolproof plan. But if it involves trust between a white-collar city slicker and a street-smart tough guy, how foolproof can it actually be?
