Myles, a charming but questionable investment banker, is relieved to offload one of his loss-making investments to Mark Stretton, a young unsuspecting
hotel manager. Set largely in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, this tale of bribery, threats, and ultimately murder, follows the fortunes of Mark as he takes a failing fishing company into the booming oil and gas industry of the Southern North Sea in the nineteen seventies. Better by Myles is a story of intrigue, romance and, thanks to Myles, success.
