"Jeremy Beaumont-Jones has been lucky enough to be born rich. He wasn't in the mad oligarch class but once you're past a certain point, the sheer weight of your money sucks in wealth like a financial singularity." - Ben Aaronovitch, The Hanging Tree.

A friend of a friend got it from England, where it is already out. It's been going the rounds of Marna's local circle. It's quite wonderful - of course.
