Suspense
In a world that moves as fast as finance does, top
producers have to think three steps ahead and make snap
decisions. Theirs is a blurred version of reality, one
that conceals moves as much as it rewards the bold ones.
All too easily, scams can be disguised as success;
plotting can be mistaken for killer instincts. And as
Grove O’Rourke finds out, “Nothing obscures vulnerability
like success. Nothing that is, except for friendships.”
But this book isn’t about stocks and bonds—
it’s about people. About Grove O’Rourke, top producer at
the investment firm of Sachs, Kidder, and Carnegie, and
about his best friend, Charlie Kelemen, whose spectacular
murder is carried out in front of hundreds of horrified
party-goers at the opening of the novel. It’s about
Charlie’s widow, who comes to Grove for help after her
husband’s death, even though she’s hiding a dark secret.
And it’s about how money—vast sums of money—can cover up
even the most glaring imper fections in relationships, and
fool everyone. Well, almost everyone.
With the ease of someone who has lived in the world
of top producers, NorbVonnegut has crafted a sharp, dark
thriller that will make you think—and then double-check
your investments.
