- The author's previous major work was Dark Towers, about Deutsche Bank:
- I read David Enrich's book, Dark Towers. It was an easy read and he developed a close relationship with Val because he became a great source for the book. The book gave me the impression that Val likes spontaneity and doesn't seem to have much direction in his life.
