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 Pinochetβs Chile, and Gabrielβs new love interest, the presidentβs 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 Lipsyteβset against the stunning mountainous backdrop of La Paz and interspersed with Boliviaβs sad history of stubborn survivalβPeter Mountford examines the critical choices a young man makes as his world closes in on him.
