A rocky cliff face, the tragic death of his father, a spell in a harsh young offenders' institution and a promising military career cut short all leave Seb Faber's prospects looking bleak. However, an unexpected and lucrative job offer in the City seems to point to a more secure future. Seb turns out to be a natural on the equities trading floor of the City's oldest bank, and this success leads to his selection for a special project. To add to his change of fortune he falls in love, and deeply. But Seb's personal antennae are picking up anomalies. Perhaps everything is not quite as it seems. As his suspicions grow, he becomes increasingly unsure about who he can trust. Then his whole world is turned upside down. Torn in all directions, Seb fights through the mists of despair to regain his self-control and sense of purpose. His final steps lead to dramatic and totally unforeseen events in the South African bush.

From a medical family, Hugh studied Biology at Durham University that lead to many years specialising in biotechnology company financings, the inspiration for the story in Selection. He lives in Berkshire with Nina, his wife of twenty years, a preparatory school headmistress, his three teenage children, and two large messy dogs.
