Now and then, a novel actually is prophetic - and no-one is more shocked than the author. When I had written Money Talks back in 2007, neither I nor other people dreamed that the White House would soon be occupied by a man who bears such a attractive and in reality uncanny resemblance to my villain, Robert Maxx. I wasn't attempting to create a predictive dystopia; all I wanted to do was to inform an engaging story that would let me think my way in to the mind of the real-estate mogul with a bullying manner, a tresses flamboyant enough to complement his ego, and a somewhat childish fixation to see his name on very large buildings. I wanted to explore what drove that kind of man, the type of neediness was behind his infinite quest for electricity. And I wanted to see how an ordinary, decent fellow might keep his moral bearings while in the use and thrall of such a person. My everyman was a mild-mannered ghostwriter known as David Collins. His predicament, in 2017, is the one that an incredible number of us show: How to hang on to his desires, his dignity, and maybe even his love of life, in a high-stakes game where the bad guys appear to be retaining all the chips. Part dark comedy, part boardroom theatre, part murder puzzle, and part prescient satire, Money Talks is a rejuvenating reminder that fact will eventually get away and justice will eventually be achieved.
