Ken Morris, a man the Times of London calls a "legend" of Wall Street, intricately weaves the story of Peter Neil, a recently unemployed 28-year-old who has just tragically and suddenly lost his mother in a mysterious accident. When things seem to have hit rock bottom, old family friend Jason Ayers appears and offers Neal a job at a hedge fund firm he represents. Initially rejecting the offer and reduced to interviewing for lowly fast food jobs, Peter relents upon discovering the large debts his mother had racked up in paying Peter's costs. Though he knows nothing about the industry, he joins Stenman Partners. Instantly he is thrown into the complex world of finance, and immediately surprises everyone by being a quick and superior study. A new job, a blooming romance with Ayer's daughter Kate, and sudden wealth -- this is too good to be true! And it is!
The author is probably the highest ranking investment figure - and the most knowledgeable - ever to make transformation to writer in his specialty. Morris also takes incredibly popular style of Grisham and Clancy, and transfers it to a new and vitally important world - investment.
