Observant outsider brings charm and trouble to old Etonian tribe

JUSTIN CARTWRIGHT sweeps into the bar at Dublin’s Brooke’s Hotel full of apology.

His plane from London was delayed, so we’re meeting almost an hour late. It was worth the wait. Other People’s Money, Cartwright’s book on a posh London bank’s financial collapse is simply the best I’ve read all year. And the author is a charming companion, and is as full of intelligent insights in conversation, as he is in his writing.
