Corporate crime and poor victims.
Gilt Investments, a new company, promises a risk free investor bonanza. But at what price?

A journalist discovers former workers are sick and dying.
Gilt will take the assets leaving an empty shell with nothing for former workers.
It's a race against time - once the company floats publicly it will be too late.
More dirty secrets are found but can it be stopped?

It is not gold that glitters in this story, but wealth stolen from others to create this new glittering company,
Taking this money has not only stolen their wealth but their health. The sick and dying bear testimony to this theft.

A new company float - Gilt Investments - risk free investment. Its structure keeps the valued parts in a new portfolio and leaves the risk behind. Is it real or is it Gold Placed Spin, a public mask of glitter to hide the guilt behind?

Corporate lawyer, Stephen, knows Gilt Investments will give a great return.
His own bonus and share allocation promise a cash bonanza.
It is set to go. He delivers the Prospectus to the printer to send out to select clients. It goes live in a week.

As the final hours tick away a journalist rings. An ill woman has contacted her, claims the company poisoned her.
The journalist looks for evidence, finds a company restructure has separated a murky past from a glittering future.
She finds other victims, paid a pittance and then hushed up. Some are dead, others are alive and sick.
It is a race on three counts, to stop the float so assets don't vanish, to keep victims alive to testify and to keep her own past buried, lest it derail it all.
