About this ebook
As many of you will know, Bill Hammer, the legendary hedge-fund manager - and legendary lover - is no longer with us. This diary was found amongst his possessions, and it was suggested by the police that I edit the entries in this diary and publish them in the form of a book. It seems that Bill was sorely treated by the lady of his dreams and set out to wreak revenge on womankind in his own particular way. It is a tragic story, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I should add that to avoid embarrassing those involved I have changed every name - apart from Bill’s own. To be on the safe side, I suppose, I should also say that this is a work of fiction and that any resemblance characters might have to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
