The Twain Maxim (2010) (ISBN 978-1-84243-341-6) is the second financial thriller by British entrepreneur and author Clem Chambers, published by No Exit Press. [1] The book's title pays homage to the classic Mark Twain quote: "A mine is a hole in the ground with a fool at the bottom and a crook at the top."
The launch of the book coincides with the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain's death.[2]
Clem Chambers is an author and journalist, but is best known in his role as CEO of stocks and shares website ADVFN [3].
His debut novel, The Armageddon Trade, was published in 2009 [4] and was a timely tale of market trading and economic collapse. It was a very popular read with the hardback version running out on in a day; the paperback was on Amazon's Movers & Shakers list.
Clem is a member of the Curzon Group [5], which is dedicated to reviving the traditions of Buchan, Ian Fleming, MacLean and Forsyth and bring the British thriller back to life in the 21st century.
