  Ella, Virginia and Clara are three very different business babes, all working for the same investment bank. Ella, high-powered and driven, is escaping her past, downtrodden Virginia is stuck without a future, and Clara just wants an easy life with plenty of expenses. But one Black Thursday the girls are all sacked unjustly and, with no lycra-clad superheroes to save them, they have no choice but to join forces ...and seek revenge. No pinstriped evil-doer is safe from the avenging angels in Faith Bleasdale's funny, touching second novel: a tale of unlikely friendship, romance and ruthless revenge in the City.

  No evil-doer is safe from these avenging angels! Seymour Forbes Hunt is a British Investment Bank and a British institution. Considering itself the standard bearer for tradition and propriety, SPH demands excellence from its staff. On Black Thursday, the names of three girls dominate the Managing Director's meeting. It transpires one snuck into the system with a fake degree. Another has slept with a client while the other broke the banks stringent rules. All three girls will have to go. The barman in The Bull and Gate cannot believe his eyes when Clara, Ella and Virginia, the holy trinity of disgraced employees, spend the afternoon crying, drinking and getting angry in his usually desolate pub. By the time they leave, the girls have hatched a plan. They intend to seek revenge. They may not be Charlie's Angels, but the girls soon discover a talent for pro-active trouble making as they execute their hilarious revenge.
