Non-Fiction Memoir
On his first assignment for a rapacious hedge fund, Gabriel
embarks to Bolivia at the end of 2005 to ferret out insider
information about the plans of the controversial
president-elect. If Gabriel succeeds, he will get a bonus
that would make him secure for life. Standing in his way are
his headstrong mother, herself a survivor of Pinochet’s
Chile, and Gabriel’s new love interest, the president’s
passionate press liaison. Caught in a growing web of lies
and questioning his own role in profiting from an
impoverished people, Gabriel sets in motion a terrifying
plan that could cost him the love of all those he holds dear. In the tradition of Martin Amis, Joshua Ferris, and Sam
Lipsyte—set against the stunning mountainous backdrop of La
Paz and interspersed with Bolivia’s sad history of stubborn
survival—Peter Mountford examines the critical choices a
young man makes as his world closes in on him.
