About the Book

Knock for Knock is a term commonly used in the Motor Insurance Industry to describe the manner in which Insurance Companies each deal with their side of a claim following a collision between two or more vehicles. It is equally apposite in describing the competition between two individuals engaged in the same Industry whose ethical standards and philosophies are markedly different. Tim Harrison is a young, thrusting and successful representative employed by the mighty Universal Insurance Company plc. Although he is well on his way up the promotional ladder, he is bored rigid by the dreary routine and repetitiveness of his job. For several years he has dreamed of leaving the security of a large Company and the formation of his own independent firm. Lack of capital and his concern for the financial security of his family have, however, always held him back. Out of the blue, one of his largest clients offers him the opportunity of a lifetime and he decides to throw caution to the wind and grasp the nettle. He will set up his own company, but will he succeed? At the same time, Joe Hendry - a shifty, unprincipled double-glazing salesman - decides to try his hand at running his own business. Joe has no qualms about utilising all the underhand 'tricks of the trade' and looks set to become a wealthy man. Through a convoluted process, Joe eventually finds himself in a similar business to that of Tim Harrison. As each develops his own business in line with his respective code of practice, the two men become aware of each other's existence. There is an instant, and mutual, feeling of distrust, dislike and disdain. Although each man suffers many knocks on his way to realising his ambitions, there is little doubt that sparks will fly should their paths ever cross. When this inevitably occurs, the reader is forced to take sides - will the 'win at all costs' attitude of Joe Hendry or the probity and integrity of Tim Harrison eventually prevail? The trials and tribulations (or the knocks for knocks) that affect each of them, and the manner in which they overcome them, will determine which of them will survive and which of them will fail.
