Michael's guest has a remarkable personal story which combines: Serendipity… for being in the right place at the right time.
Stamina for seeing a very difficult situation – in fact a crisis - through to the bitter end.
The Surreal – for ending up as part of the investigative team into the crimes – financial crimes and crimes of corruption - that he saw unfold. And then writing a best-selling book about it. His book is called “Iceland’s Secret - The untold story of the world’s biggest con.” The story of the most dramatic crash of a country’s economy, which took place in 2008.
The Financial Times describes the book as “jaw-dropping … a fantastic read … an eye-opener and a cautionary tale”.
