1 y separately published work icon Dazzled by Dollars Robert Verlander , Fremantle : Vivid Publishing , 2023 26234336 2023 single work novel 'The Big End of Town Breaks Bad Rex Mainprize, CEO of the Do-Rite Organisation, is a dinosaur. All he knows about is making money. A shortcoming his chairman, a former army major-general is all too well aware of. He's grooming tech-whizz, Primrose Lightfoot, for the top job. Youthful. Vibrant. Someone who can negotiate the minefield of social activism and fight the culture war Do-Rite is always on the wrong side of. But Rex's final reckoning arrives when a Do-Rite executive in a far-flung state is arrested for seven brutal murders. Having a murderer in the executive ranks of a banking behemoth is bad for business-more toxic than unwittingly financing paedophiles in the Philippines or selling to the dead. Dazzled by Dollars is a tale of impending downfall and a window to a high corporate chaparral where appearances are not always what they seem. In a comic nod to The Big Short and Barbarians at the Gate, capital markets luminary, Robert Verlander, shines a singular light on how big organisations roll.' (Publication summary) 
1 y separately published work icon Of White and Shady Robert Verlander , Fremantle : Vivid Publishing , 2014 8225435 2014 single work novel

'Michel White can almost taste the money. The death of his grandfather Tick Tock has given him the break he craves. There’s just one catch: the long-forgotten Shady Green. The man who stands between Michel and a fortune is on his way back to stake his claim.

'Of White and Shady is the story of Michel White as he emerges from teenage obscurity to a starring role in one of the great catastrophes in Australian history, and incidentally, a life in theatre.

'If only Michel had met someone like Shady earlier his quest for success and Miss Dead Right would have had a smoother trajectory. But eventually he did and he would never forget it. Neither would many in Australia on that fateful summer day in 1969 when the sky lit up to the west of Melbourne. ' (Publication summary)
