I read a book on holiday 20 years ago. The main part I remember is the protagonist worked for a company (maybe a newspaper) and had a horrible boss, but the protagonist secretly owned the company as he’d bought it after receiving a large inheritance. The protagonist continues to work for the company in a low level role and gets into funny situations such as being stranded on a beach after a criminal drugs him. I’ve been trying to remember this book for years and never got anywhere!
