The Deal Hunter is the exhilarating memoir of Malcolm Burne — a South London boy who turned a paper round into a globe-trotting career as a pioneering dealmaker and entrepreneur. Beginning in the Square Mile as a young stockbroker, Malcolm moved through the financial press, honed a talent for spotting opportunity, and launched himself into a life of high-stakes dealmaking that took him from Zambia to Australia, from the Orient to Spain, from gold and diamonds to Bitcoin and blockchain. Along the way there were spectacular wins, crushing crashes, three marriages, and the ever-present buzz of the next big deal. Funny, frank, and relentlessly optimistic, this is the story of a man driven not by money but by the craic — the thrill of turning a sketchy fantasy into a profitable reality.
