Discover the novel called a brilliant read, funny and poignant, with an insiders knowledge of Wall Street that plunges readers into the financial sectors ruthless heart, where fortune, ambition, and betrayal collide in the rise and devastating fall of a financial titan.(New York Times bestselling author Elliott Ackerman)Told from the perspectives of those in and around the pathways of money and power, High Finance is a debut novel that takes us inside one of the most volatile periods in Wall Streets history through the lens of Jed Czincosca, who came to Wall Street from Chicago in 1977 to get rich and rise to the pinnacle of American success. He did what it takes to make it to the top, letting nothing hold him back. While orchestrating multibillion-dollar deals and becoming spectacularly wealthy, Jed binges on pot and alcohol, trades on inside information, cheats on his wife, and becomes one of Wall Streets key players. At the dawn of the new century, with a monomaniacal obsession Jed borrows to buy as many shares of Lehman Brothers as he can get his hands on, only to be wiped out on that fateful September day when Lehman was fed to the wolves. Forced from his four-bedroom duplex on Park Avenue to a cheap rental in the working-class town of Patchogue, is redemption and resurrection for Jed even possible? Through a kaleidoscope of voiceshis wife, his British secretary, his Marxist brother, the Lehman "informant, an internal auditor dedicated to Jeds destruction, and otherswe come to intimately understand Jed and how the unpredictable external forces to which we are all susceptible shape and define us. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers was a pivotal moment in the 2008 crash of the financial markets that led to job losses, a housing market crisis, and a global recession whose effects are still being felt to this day. In telling the story of one man at the center of this moment, Ken Miller offers us a new perspective on Wall Street in the twenty-first century.
