With less than six months until Christmas, how better to celebrate the hardback release of “the financial thriller of the year”, Zero Ri$k, than with an invitation to a sinful celebration of ‘Christmas in July’?
Hot on the heels of the successful eBook release in May, the stunning Limited Edition Hardback of Zero Ri$k is now officially on sale online and in all good bookshops.
Zero Ri$k is the debut novel from award-winning former headhunter, investment banker and broker Simon Hayes, which follows the story of a disillusioned banker facing unthinkable financial Armageddon over the Christmas season. Suddenly, money has no value, stock and bond prices are meaningless, and the economy is destroyed. Zero Ri$k revolves around a cataclysmic ‘Black Swan’ cyber-attack that no one predicted, but anyone could have anticipated. The book has been lauded as “the thriller of the year”, “a perfect thriller” and “the best I’ve ever read in this genre!” and Hayes’ debut as “astounding”, “spectacular” and “outstanding” by early readers on Goodreads, Amazon and socials.

No such thing as a free lunch?
Free, signed, limited-edition hardbacks and tote bag for every guest, complimentary drinks and nibbles, festive and seasonal, entertainment…
PLUS the chance to win a meal for two, courtesy of author Simon Hayes, at the top Knightsbridge restaurant featured in Zero Ri$k!
Reviewers, journalists, publishing professionals, readers, booksellers, librarians, and fellow City friends are invited to swing by The Fable in Holborn Viaduct, London after work (from 6:30 – 8pm) on 23rd July to celebrate the release of Zero Ri$k on the audiobook’s launch day! Narrated by ‘New York Times Bestselling Audiobook nominee’ and actor Stephanie Racine, the party will be a sinful celebration of the release of Simon Hayes’ debut novel in all three eBook, Limited-Edition Hardback, and audiobook formats, ahead of the paperback release this autumn.
Alongside complimentary drinks and festive nibbles, this special summer twist on holiday tradition promises the opportunity to meet author, Simon Hayes, and other professionals from finance, publishing, and recruitment, while enjoying the entertainment on offer including a live interview, guest performances and—hopefully—a surprise appearance. A unique preview of the audiobook will be shared during the event.
To add an extra layer of indulgence to this epic book launch, every guest will be entered into a prize draw that will be unwrapped before the end of the event. The prize is a delicious lunch for two at Sale e Pepe in Knightsbridge – the inspirational venue where Zero Ri$k’s protagonists Rob and Ashley first enjoy a date of their own.
