Blonde Ambition by Samantha Phillips

Charlie Christie, blonde, beautiful career girl, enters the old school network of Lloyd's determined to scale the City's highest realms of power. But she discovers its foundations are rotten to the core with vice and fraud and suddenly her own job is on the line. When she starts to cause trouble, Natasha is unceremoniously fired and told to forget. But she is determined to gather enough information to bring her corrupt bosses to justice. They will do anything to stop her.
Samantha Phillips was born in Derbyshire, is a graduate of the University of London and has a Masters from the Sorbonne in Paris. Following a background in ship broking and advertising in Paris she joined Lloyd's in 1989, employed by Willis Faber & Dumas as a broker in their aviation division. In November 1992 she left Willis Faber and began legal action against the company. Two weeks later she published the first edition of Inside Eye, a magazine that revealed what went on behind the scenes at Lloyd's. After a two year struggle she won a highly publicised court case against her former employers. Samantha Philips lives in London and now writes full time.
