Forget about Bernie Madoff or Gordon Gekko—there’s a new villain on Wall
Street…
Norb Vonnegut didn’t realize how close he skirted to non-fiction when he was
writing his spectacular debut _Top Producer_. Penned before tumultuous
revelations and scandals rocked the financial world in late 2008, Vonnegut’s
novel depicts, with an insider’s solid knowledge, the tricks that the
industry’s real top producers pull in their frenzied pursuit of billions.
Now Vonnegut sets his electrifying follow-up in the high-rolling world of
hedge funds, lending his seasoned perspective to a riveting thriller.
Jimmy Cusack is the tough kid from a blue-collar neighborhood who made good on
Wall Street. Well, almost. After a sterling start to his career, things have
soured. His hedge fund has collapsed. The bank is foreclosing on his upscale
condominium. And his wife is two months pregnant. That’s the good news. When
Cusack takes a “must-have†job with Leeser Capital, a Greenwich fund
impervious to the capital market woes, his real troubles begin.
Vonnegut’s unique insider’s perspective and his intuitive, darkly humorous
writing are once again on full display in this fast-talking suspense thriller.
A high-stakes poker game of a book, _The Gods of Greenwich_ is a timely and
gripping read that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat until the last
card is played.
