As an investment banker I enjoy reading novels built around finance intrigue vs. lawyers, doctors or policemen.This is a very good book of a recent college grad who after the death of his mother is given an opportunity to be a hedge fund trader.In a year he goes from not wanting the job to being one of the top traders and all the internal office politics that develop.But this is no ordinary job and he wasn't recruited based upon his intelligence.The novel starts with two deaths of people who do business with the hedge fund as well as the death of his mother.Morris weaves many different plot lines like the death of his mother, his family life and a relationship with the attorney of the hedge fund, his love life involving the daughter of the attorney, and his conflicted views of wealth.
Overlapping these story lines is a great "whodunit" as the new trader fights to learn a business and duck clues that may involve him in an elaborate scheme.I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in a good murder mystery built around a financial world background.
