The plot developers with the potential collapse of NewGate Bank and the introduction of numerous politicians, the prime minister and former prime minister, high rolling financiers, corrupt bankers, and others, all set against the background of the looming financial collapse. Again, Peston uses his knowledge and experience of politics to tell the story of the financial crash, the run on a well known back and his protagonist, Gil Peck, right in the middle of it. Then there’ll be other business stories —for example, I’m completely obsessed with Artificial Intelligence at the moment and what effect that is going to have on people’s jobs”. Robert Peston’s The Crash is about the Chief Finance Reporter at the BBC solving a murder, but it works. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Robert Peston Jewish News meets: Crash, bang, wallop, it’s Robert Peston
Jess Neesken who works for the Financial Chronicle is best friends with Peck she helps with his investigations. The Delaneys are a tennis family: Stan and Joy met as champions and toured the circuit together before setting up an academy. just some of the words I feel that describe Gil Peck's latest outing in this extremely readable Robert Peston book. The book is balanced and a very useful commentary on events of recent years in the UK and beyond, particularly in the USA. Yes – you don’t get rich as a journalist, you’ve got to do it because you love it, and I’ve always loved it.
Winter Counts is both a solid take on a trope familiar to readers of crime and western genres – the lone man’s quest for justice – and an authentic and humane view of a largely unreported world, ravaged by years of systemic oppression.

Gil doesn't believe that she would have done this and thinks she has been murdered and it has something to do with the crash. It becomes a gripping thriller with insider information on the workings and interweaving of banks, government and television which the reader feels must be supported by the author’s own experiences. You can feel the pressure he is under, trying to get the next story, his mother's illness and then the death of Marilyn.
Some of the characters are real, but those that play an important part are also often versions of real people. The worst thing that could happen is I make a fool out of myself, and I’ve done that enough times in my life, I’ll probably cope. Addled by the drugs she’s taking to deal with her anxieties and grief, unable to sleep in the permanent night, she wonders who she can trust.
The Whistleblower by Robert Peston review | Evening Standard
Despite the mayhem (no pun intended) of events over here in recent days they are all largely predicted here.
It's a thriller but it's also a thought provoking book that tells about the financial crisis of the end of last decade.
