At the age of twenty-eight, Dubliner Geri Molloy is a high-flyer at Steiner's investment bank in the City of London. She made her name by closing her employer's biggest and riskiest deal with a resclusive hedge fund manager in Hong Kong, Felix Mann, five years earlier and has had it all since. But in the months leading up to the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991, her life starts to unravel. Her split with her suave boyfriend, a corporate financier with Steiner's closest competition, usshers in her slow descent into a debilitating insomnia, excessive drinking and recklessness. At this moment of personal crisis, Geri faces her toughest challenge yet, a hostile takeover involving her boss, her client and her ex. With her career on the line as a consequence, and no one to turn to, she is close to losing it, in every sense. Taut and fast-paced, On the Floor is a reminder to never, ever underestimate the personal cost of success.
