HEDGED (a Novel)
A Killing in the Market
Coming Summer, 2012
If John Grisham were a hedge fund manager instead of a lawyer, this is the book he would have written. HEDGED is an exciting, fast paced novel set against the backdrop of high stakes investing where the richest, and sometimes the most corrupt, financiers on Wall Street flout the rules as they manage billions of dollars. This insider’s look at the ultra-secretive world of hedge funds brings to life a story that could have been ripped from today’s headlines; supersized egos and incredible greed drive some to the edge of ruin – and spectacularly beyond. Some fail stunningly while others successfully put off their day of reckoning forever. HEDGED is a tale of both. Travel into the world of private jets and multi-billion dollar fortunes that are never enough. Only one person can stand in the way of legendary investor Vernon Albright as he colludes to drive the price of oil to all-time highs but is Jeremy Cranford willing to put his family in danger, turn against his mentor, and risk losing his own fortune? From Wall Street to Monte Carlo to the oil fields of Houston, Texas, and the Middle East, take this pulse pounding journey when you read HEDGED: A Novel About A Killing in the Market. Greed, murder, incredible wealth, adultery, and backstabbing – it’s all there in one tidy tale. Be prepared to settle in because once you get lured into the glamorous and secret world of hedge funds, you won’t ever want to leave.
