For the Love of Money
by Bill Whiting
The year is 1991. Jamie Miller and Bill King, both in their forties and living separate (relatively modest)lives, were unhappy with their lot. Life-changing experiences caused each to abandon their lack ofambition on a course to make a lot of serious money. Eventually coming together, they find that they have actually been duped. With a feisty youngRachel Haines along for the ride, they discover that even before the age of online social media,crazy ideas, mad schemes and fake news — including beaming a laser-powered advertisementacross the entire face of the moon — could be the path to fortune. Bill Whiting spins a tale following three characters determined to make money. For the Love ofMoney is a sardonic, satirical and humorous take on the worlds of finance, newspapers, the internet,advertising and Parliament.
