Fiction
Sarajevo, 2003. Frito and Bannerman, business partners and
best friends, roll into town looking to soak up a dose of
Reconstruction Money and make an easy killing. Easy until
they realize that Clare Leischman, a prosecutor with the
international war crimes tribunal, is the best girl either
of them has ever met, and that they can't both have her as
much as they would each, ideally, like. Meanwhile the city
is awash with UN programmes, black marketeers, lawyers,
soldiers both salaried and self-employed, poker hustlers,
Machiavellian intelligence officers and expat hedonists all
high on Dayton money. And by the time Frito and Bannerman
have started hunting men accused of war crimes, their own
lives have taken on all the risk, craziness and emotional
upheaval -- but very little of the money -- that they'd
bargained for. Warmhearted and wildly funny, The
Exchange-Rate Between Love and Money tackles love and
war and the brutal costs of both in all their madness,
hilarity and hurt. It is an unforgettable first novel.
