An exciting and timely debut of an original voice. --People, Best Books of the Month

A hotshot hedge fund employee on Wall Street must risk everything to save his job--and his life--in this hilarious and scathing (Chicago magazine) satire about power, ambition, and the corrupting influence of the almighty dollar.

In this masterpiece (CrimeReads) and finalist for the Barry Award for Best First Mystery, Ali Al Jafar is a rising star at notorious hedge fund Prism Capital, but fortunes change fast on Wall Street. When his biggest investment goes up in smoke, Al loses $300 million--and his fragile sense of self-worth--in a single afternoon. He's certain he'll be fired, but Prism's obscenely rich and politically connected founder isn't that merciful. Instead, he gives Al an impossible ultimatum: recover the lost money in three months or become the fall guy for the government's insider trading investigation.

Desperate and depressed, Al turns to high finance's dark side, where he battles back-stabbing coworkers and cutthroat competitors and digs himself into an even deeper hole. As the clock winds down and the pressure mounts, Al's mental health deteriorates. To survive, he'll have to outfox one of the world's most powerful men and decide if he values the dearest asset of all: himself.
